Exclusive: The West Wing actor Joshua Malina will make his London stage bow in the fall playing a “secular, sarcastic, anti-religious Jew” who says “the unsayable” about Israel in what’s being billed as the European premiere of Nathan Englander’s adaptation of his 2012 short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank.
“It’s quite exciting to have Malina making his English debut,” said the show’s director, Patrick Marber.
Described by Marber as a “serious comedy with seriously funny jokes, but its purpose is serious,” the show will run October 4-November 23 at the Marylebone Theatre in London.
Marber and his producers Oliver King, Nina Tassler, David Daniels and Craig Dorfman are hoping to transfer into the West End after its run at the Marylebone.
And, they’re eager for the production to have “more life” after London.
“Off Broadway, Broadway subsidized — doesn’t matter,” Marber pleaded.
