Michael Grandage
Evening Standard

The man with the Midas touch.
There is a rumour about Judi Dench that Michael Grandage, the artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, is keen to dispel. "What have you heard?" he asks with a smile. "That she doesn't read scripts?"
Not true, he insists. But it is the case that when they met to discuss Madame de Sade, a little-known play by the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, Dench only read the work afterwards. "What she feeds on is people's enthusiasm," he says. "She wants to know she's going to work with someone with vision."
So it's no wonder she agreed to star. For Grandage, 46, has vision in spades. ...

Calendar Girls

As Calendar Girls is turned into a play, the stars reveal: 'Why we're proud to parade our wobbly bits'.
The thought of posing naked for a photo is a nightmare for most women. But when the ladies of the Rylstone and District WI dared to bare for their famous charity calendar, they raised a fortune, as well as a few eyebrows, and inspired a Hollywood hit. Now their story has been turned into a play, and six of Britain's best-loved actresses will be stripping for live theatre audiences across the country. So how do they feel about baring all? And what do they think of their own bodies

David Soul
Evening Standard
11 August 2008
That 'gorgeous blond blue-eyed guy' image. That was all bulls**t.
I meet David Soul in the dimly lit basement room of a Cuban-themed bar in Soho, which, were it not for the clean-cut French waiters and the smoking ban, might easily pass as a nightclub set from Starsky and Hutch, the California-based cop show that made Soul globally famous in the 1970s. There is something mildly illicit about the venue, which he has chosen: it's 4.30pm and a sunny day outside, but we're indoors, underground in a windowless room. Soul is drinking white wine and water.
