As if seeing Dame Judi next month wasn't enough another grand dame of the acting world is treading the boards. HRH
Helen Mirren has been tempted to the National Theatre by Greek tragedy-based Phedre.Knew the tickets would sell quickly but not as quickly as the stalls virtually all gone within 10 mins of the website going live. But for some unfathomable yet fortunate reason the front row in the circle still had seats and so I pounced on them.
Dominic Cooper (The Duchess and The History Boys) and Margaret Tyzack join HRH join the cast so there is much to be excited about.
Dame Helen, and a curtsey as I type that plays a step mother who seduces her step son and based on how gorgeous she looks in the poster, it's not going to be too hard to believe that she can pull it off.
