When by chance they meet again across adjoining hotel balconies, their insatiable feelings for each other are immediately rekindled. Without a worry for potential scandal, new partners or memories of what drove them apart in the first place, they hurl themselves headlong into love and lust.

Catrall is the winner of a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award and has received five Emmy Award nominations for her role as femme-fatale Samantha Jones in Sex and the City.

On stage he played Prince Hal in the National Theatre's production of Henry IV and appeared in The Pain And The Itch at the Royal Court Theatre.

His numerous theatre productions range from Guys And Dolls and Mary Poppins to works by Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, David Hare and Alan Bennett.

Behind the Scenes of SEMINAR's Photo Shoot!
by Nicole Rosky - Sep 27, 2011


In SEMINAR, four aspiring young novelists (Ms. Rabe, Mr. Linklater, Mr. O'Connell and Ms. Park) sign up for private writing classes with Leonard (Mr. Rickman), an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting new comedy. Previews will begin on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at The Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street) with an Opening Night set for Sunday, November 20 at 6:30 PM. EW.com featured a behind the scenes look at the cast's recent photoshoot. Click here to check it out!
