A memorable and witty show based on Australian John Misto's play 'Madame Rubinstein' and staged by Yevgeny Pisarev, was premiered in the Moscow Pushkin Drama Theatre. This performance is hinged on the main character brilliantly impersonated by a renowned Russian actress Vera Alentova (she has gained great acclaim for her movie role in 'Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears' (1979) which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981).
After a sell-out seasons in London and Sydney, John Misto's comedy Lip Service, a play about the life and times of Melbourne entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein, comes to her home town from 11 July at The Lawler Theatre.
In celebration of Park Theatre's 4th birthday, the theatre held a stunning and star-studded gala evening. Centred around the performance of Madame Rubinstein (starring Miriam Margolyes, Frances Barber and Jonathan Forbes), guests were invited to dress in 1950s clothing to befit the play's period.
Based on the life and career of cosmetics magnate Helena Rubinstein, John Misto's new play stars Miriam Margolyes and continues a varied season at the Park Theatre. It's a successor of sorts of Ryan Craig's Filthy Business that recently ended its run at Hampstead Theatre, telling the story of a female Jewish immigrant who went on to great success in the business world - though it's more of a comedic biography than a play out to make a social or political point.
