Bradley Walsh Hosts “The Chase” UK Game Show (Video Clip)
U.S. viewers likely don't know that Bradley Walsh (Law & Order UK) has been hosting a game show/quiz show on UK’s ITV called “The Chase.” The show is described as “four contestants pit their wits against ruthless quiz genius The Chaser in the hope of winning a potential prize pot worth thousands of pounds. They must work as a team and play strategically to answer general knowledge questions against the clock and race down the game board to the exit without being caught.”
Here’s an excerpt from an episode which aired on January 11 and it seems that Bradley finds the subject matter so funny it almost renders him speechless.
UK viewers – check your local listings for “The Chase”; U.S. viewers, sorry, it’s not airing here.

Sam Waterston in “The Old Masters” U.S Premiere at Long Wharf Theatre
(Long Wharf Theatre Ticket Information)
***********************************************
Long Wharf Theatre Press Release
The Old Masters to have U.S Premiere at Long Wharf Theatre Jan.13-Feb.19
Long Wharf Theatre, under the leadership of Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein and Managing Director Ray Cullom, present the U.S. premiere of The Old Masters by Simon Gray.
The show will take place Jan. 19-Feb. 13, 2011 on the Mainstage. Tickets are $40 to $70.
The press night is January 26, 2011 at 7:30 p.m.
The cast is comprised of Sam Waterston (Bernard Berenson), Rufus Collins (Edward Fowles), Brian Murray (Joseph Duveen), Shirley Knight (Mary Berenson) and Heidi Schreck (Nicky Mariano). The production will be directed by Michael Rudman. The creative team is comprised of Alexander Dodge (Set Design), Toni-Leslie James (Costume Design), Peter Kaczorowski (Lighting Design), John Gromada (Sound Design and Original Music), and Jack Doulin (Casting). The stage manager is Bonnie Brady.
Long Wharf Theatre’s production of The Old Masters precedes an anticipated Broadway run produced by John Martello and Elliot Martin.
“This is a very beautiful and brilliant play. Like most of Simon’s plays, it is about so many different things. It is certainly about art and money … it’s about old friends. It’s about old rivalries and it’s about life and death, facing the end of your life,” Edelstein said. “This is a great project, having all of these great artists together to do this important play about this important subject.”
The play, written in 2004 and previously performed in London’s West End, takes place under the menacing shadow of Mussolini in 1937. Two aging lions joust over the value of art and money. Just outside Florence, famous art historian Bernard Berenson (played by Waterston) and notorious art dealer Joseph Duveen (portrayed by Murray) edge toward a revealing final encounter as their fascinating relationship erupts on stage.
"A subtle and cunningly constructed piece, The Old Masters trains its attention on the potentially corrupt relationship between art dealer and art expert and examines the human price of dictating commercial value of pictures that transcend the market's idea of worth... The Old Masters is authentically, vintage Gray," according to the Independent in London.
Long Wharf Theatre has a long history of performing Gray’s works, including the award-winning production of Quartermaine’s Terms, produced during the 1982-83 season, then transferring to Playhouse 91 in 1983. The show won an OBIE Award that year for ensemble performance. In addition, Long Wharf Theatre produced the much acclaimed The Common Pursuit.
For more information about the show, call 203-787-4282 or visit www.longwharf.org. Press inquiries should be directed to Steve Scarpa, director of marketing and communications at 203-772-8255 or at steven.scarpa@longwharf.org

Simon Gray
Playwright

Trinity College, Cambridge followed, before he was appointed lecturer in English at Queen Mary College, University of London. His first novel, Colmain, written while he was at Cambridge, was published by Faber & Faber in 1963. Adapting his short story,The Caramel Crisis for television kicked off a new career as a dramatist. Other television plays followed, for the BBC's Wednesday Play and Play for Today, frequently in collaboration with the producer Kenith Trodd. He began to write for live stage when his play Wise Child was considered too shocking for television. It starred Simon Ward and Alec Guinness and was produced by Michael Codron at Wyndham's Theatre in 1967. His 1971 play Butley, also produced by Michael Codron, began a long creative partnership with Harold Pinter as director (of both the play and the film versions) and continued the partnership with the actor Alan Bates, begun with Gray's 1967 television play Death of a Teddy Bear. Bates starred in 11 of Gray's works, while Pinter directed 10 separate productions of Gray's works for stage, film, and television, beginning with Butley. Their final collaboration was a stage production of The Old Masters, starring Peter Bowles and Edward Fox, in 2004. In 1984 Gray began keeping a diary when he was working with Harold Pinter on The Common Pursuit, staged at the Lyric, Hammersmith. This was the first of eight volumes of diaries. In 2003 Ian Jack, then editor of Granta, asked what Gray had done in his holidays. The result was the acclaimed trilogy, The Smoking Diaries, which brought him a new and appreciative audience. His last diary, Coda, was published posthumously in November 2008. With fellow playwright Hugh Whitemore, Gray adapted his Diaries for the stage. The Last Cigarette, starring Felicity Kendal, Nicholas Le Prevost and Jasper Britton and directed by Richard Eyre, was staged in 2009. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2004 for services to drama and literature. He died on 7th August 2008 at the age of 71.

Simon Gray
Playwright
Simon Gray was born in 1936. He was educated at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Trinity College, Cambridge followed, before he was appointed lecturer in English at Queen Mary College, University of London. His first novel, Colmain, written while he was at Cambridge, was published by Faber & Faber in 1963. Adapting his short story,The Caramel Crisis for television kicked off a new career as a dramatist. Other television plays followed, for the BBC's Wednesday Play and Play for Today, frequently in collaboration with the producer Kenith Trodd. He began to write for live stage when his play Wise Child was considered too shocking for television. It starred Simon Ward and Alec Guinness and was produced by Michael Codron at Wyndham's Theatre in 1967. His 1971 play Butley, also produced by Michael Codron, began a long creative partnership with Harold Pinter as director (of both the play and the film versions) and continued the partnership with the actor Alan Bates, begun with Gray's 1967 television play Death of a Teddy Bear. Bates starred in 11 of Gray's works, while Pinter directed 10 separate productions of Gray's works for stage, film, and television, beginning with Butley. Their final collaboration was a stage production of The Old Masters, starring Peter Bowles and Edward Fox, in 2004. In 1984 Gray began keeping a diary when he was working with Harold Pinter on The Common Pursuit, staged at the Lyric, Hammersmith. This was the first of eight volumes of diaries. In 2003 Ian Jack, then editor of Granta, asked what Gray had done in his holidays. The result was the acclaimed trilogy, The Smoking Diaries, which brought him a new and appreciative audience. His last diary, Coda, was published posthumously in November 2008. With fellow playwright Hugh Whitemore, Gray adapted his Diaries for the stage. The Last Cigarette, starring Felicity Kendal, Nicholas Le Prevost and Jasper Britton and directed by Richard Eyre, was staged in 2009. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2004 for services to drama and literature. He died on 7th August 2008 at the age of 71.

Chris Noth Featured in "CBS Watch" Magazine February 2011 Issue
Chris Noth (Law & Order, Law & Order CI) is featured in the February 2011 issue of "CBS Watch" magazine. Chris talks about his “The Good Wife” role. Here’s a little tease for you with a photo of Chris from the article. Check your newsstands for the issue (it is not available as of this writing on the CBS Watch website). I didn't like this show at the start - I can barely tolerate Julianna Margulies - but I've grown to really enjoy this series.
