A stark new drama, starring Matthew Macfadyen, challenges the accepted view and treatment of paedophiles. It will be shown apparently on 19th April 2007 on Channel 4.

The Observer has an article on the drama.

Charlie Webb wears a blue elastic band round his wrist. When he twangs it, he believes it breaks his thoughts, pulling him up short when he is sexually attracted to young girls. It is his improvised way of controlling himself. Charlie is a convicted paedophile, newly released from prison, determined not to offend again. He's also fictional and the focus of a new Channel 4 drama, Secret Life, from writer and debut director Rowan Joffe.

The Pain and the Itch, New Play

Matthew is to return to the London stage in June 2007 at the Royal Court according to What's On Stage

In other casting news, Matthew Macfadyen – best known for TV’s Spooks and playing Mr Darcy to Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Bennett in the 2005 film of Pride and Prejudice - will return to the stage to star in the American Bruce Norris’ satirical comedy The Pain and the Itch, running at the Royal Court from 21 June to 21 July 2007 (previews from 14 June). Macfadyen plays a liberal stay-at-home father whose Thanksgiving dinner party is badly upset.

His other theatre credits include Battle Royal, School for Scandal, Much Ado About Nothing and The Duchess of Malfi. The UK premiere of The Pain and the Itch is directed by Dominic Cooke in his first production since taking over as artistic director of the Royal Court earlier this year (See {News:: E8821170952452}, 6 Feb 2007).
