Private Lives

6point7 was able to discover that Matthew Macfadyen will be on Jonathan Ross' radio show on BBC Radio 2 this Saturday at 10:00

There is a great interview with Matthew on the What's On Stage website about Private Lives.

This comes via Matthieu and elizabethtoni of Youtube.  You can see celebrities and actors arriving and departing the Vaudeville Theatre in London.  Keeley Hawes can first be seen about 2:14 and later you can see Matthew Macfadyen with Keeley Hawes at 2:33

In the Telegraph, Sir Richard Eyre (director) tells the reporter "Actually, she got bruised on her shins because she kicked a table without knowing she was doing it, so you couldn't blame Matthew for that."

Kim also states the following: she rather enjoyed being thrown around by Macfadyen. "It is like a ballet," she says. "I always feel safe that Matthew is going to catch me at the appropriate points and I never feel like I am in danger. Honestly, it's exhilarating."

A few more exciting reviews

Daily Mail : "This is a gorgeous, glorious production of Private Lives, just bitchy enough to be modern, yet old-fashioned enough to have a three-part form. "

"All four principals are superb. Mr Macfadyen's Elyot is greedily  nonchalant about other people's feelings."

Telegraph :"Wonderfully funny and fabulously sexy, Private Lives has lost none of its allure."

What's on Stage : "There have not been that many outstanding revivals of Private Lives since Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens tore strips off each other, but this one has a freshness and elan that still takes you by surprise and honours both the musicality of Coward’s perfect prose and his brittle humanity."

London Evening Standard : "in the key roles, Kim Cattrall and Matthew Macfadyen have what might blithely be termed chemistry — though in fact it’s closer to particle physics, all energetic collisions and strong nuclear force."

"Although it begins on an unexpectedly passive note, this is a satisfying and intelligently conceived production. It’s fluent, very funny and at times dazzlingly well-acted."
