Time Out London magazine (issue 1997)
Treading the boards in our star-studded theatre special are some of today's most dynamic actors, directors and producers. Plus one Time Lord. Yes, to celebrate the transfer from Stratford to London of Greg Doran's hot-as-Hades 'Hamlet', Jane Edwardes looks back on the stage career of the good Doctor, while Rachel Halliburton talks improv and incest with his Ophelia, Mariah Gale. We profile the men and women who call the shots in Theatreland today and get fruity with legendary producer Michael Codron as he recalls a swearing seminar with Bob Hoskins and acting as matchmaker for Joe Orton and Kennith Williams. Elsewhere, there's a trip to Lithuania's Soviet theme park, London's best festive bakeries and a graveyard encounter with a top comedian involving fireworks and lashings of Drambuie. We think it's legal.
