Joe Penhall

Penhall Returns to the National

In April the National Theatre will present a new play by Blue/Orange writer Joe Penhall, Landscape With Weapon. Starring Tom Hollander and Julian Rhind-Tutt and directed by Roger Mitchell (whose film Venus is currently attracting considerable notice), it will play in the Cottesloe. Mitchell also directed Blue/Orange and the creative team of William Dudley (design) and Rick Fisher (lighting) will work on Landscape.

"Tom and Julian are a double act to die for," Penhall told the Guardian this week. "Everybody signed up thrillingly quickly and willingly, so I have unusually high expectations. It felt like one of my heftier plays, requiring a heavyweight team, which is what we've got. I can't wait to get into rehearsals."

In the summer Mitchell will direct the Donmar Warehouse's revival of Pinter's Betrayal.
