Photo Flash: BUTLEY Opens at London's Duchess Theatre
by Lauren Wolman - Jun 4, 2011

Dominic West, star of hit US drama 'The Wire,' takes on the iconic title role of the rapier-tongued lecturer in a major new revival of Simon Gray's BUTLEY. The play premiered in 1971 in Harold Pinter's award-winning production starring Alan Bates at London's Criterion Theatre. Forty years on, West takes the lead in this razor sharp and darkly comic assault on the soft underbelly of academia.
