LA BETE – rehearsals start with Rylance and Lumley
LA BETE has announced that Mark Rylance (Valere), David Hyde Pierce (Elomire) and Joanna Lumley (The Princess) are joined by Stephen Ouimette (Bejart), Lisa Joyce (Marquise-Therese Du Parc), Greta Lee (Dorine), Robert Lonsdale (Rene Du Parc), Michael Milligan (De Brie), Liza Sadovy (Catherine De Brie) and Sally Wingert (Madeleine Bejart). LA BETE has now started rehearsals begin for the Matthew Warchus production which begins productions on the 26th June.
LA BETE, at the Comedy Theatre, will play until 4 September, with press night on 7 July, will immediately transfer to Broadway following its West End run. LA BETE is produced in London and New York by Sonia Friedman Productions.
LA BETE centres on the Princess (Joanna Lumley) who invites street clown Valere (Mark Rylance) to inject some bawdy fun and mischief into her staid acting troupe, she anticipates an exciting creative combination. But the troupe's leader, Elomire (David Hyde Pierce), is an elitist and fervent lover of high-brow theatre who clashes with Valere - a gaudy comic and a fervent lover of ... well, himself. So begins a gloriously witty and wildly hilarious battle of art and egos.
