Callow to Make RSC Debut Simon Callow is set to make his Royal Shakespeare Company acting debut in December by taking over the role of Falstaff from Desmond Barrit who, owing to a foot injury, has had to withdraw from the cast of Merry Wives The Musical.
The production’s director Gregory Doran said today, “We are all really sad that we have had to lose Des owing to his unfortunate injury, but relieved and delighted that Simon has agreed to step in and take on the role of Falstaff. I am sure that with his wealth of experience, he will relish the challenge of his somewhat late arrival to rehearsals.”
Simon Callow said, “I am very excited to join this production with such a lovely cast. It will be my first role for the RSC and what a great one – not only playing Falstaff but getting the opportunity to sing and dance in the role as well!”
Merry Wives The Musical opens in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon on 2 December, and runs until 10 February 2007. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
