Matthew Macfadyen

Masterclass Blog for Matthew Macfadyen

On 17 April 2009, Matthew was the guest speaker for the Masterclass, in fact, you can view images from the Masterclass HERE (with thanks to Stuart Allen). Today, the Masterclass has posted a blog of Matthew's talk which you can now read HERE.

A hilarious quote from the blog:

"On being asked the question from a member of audience on whether he found writing letters to directors beneficial Matthew informed us that although he wasn’t too sure about the effectiveness of this method he did get the role of Benedict by faxing Declan Donnellan whilst drunk in the middle of the night begging him to give him the part. This of course may not always work and cannot be advised."

More about a possible Broadway run for Private Lives

Matthew has been repeatedly asked about confirmation of a Broadway run for Private Lives. He has remained noncommittal. However, last night, a New Yorker visiting London was able to ask Matthew if they (the producers) were still considering taking the production to NYC. Matthew replied "Yes, definitely, if they can get it sorted out." She asked for how long, and he said 6-8 weeks or so but he confirmed that they're still working out issues with it.Thanks to the NYC fan who asked and forum member Splatt who shared the information with us.Keep your fingers crossed that a Broadway run with Matthew will happen!
