Thank you to Mariana who sent a clipping of Keira from the Daily Mail. The article talks about the preview of Keira’s performance in The Misanthrope. Pictures from the play coming soon!
Interestingly, my energy levels soared whenever Keira was on stage. In this contemporary adaptation, she plays an American movie star who is a bit of a bitch. She does this well and, best of all, she sends herself up and she’s funny.

Knightley: I play Jennifer, a movie star. She intrigues me. I don’t know whether “like” would be the right word. I think she’s interesting. Ambition is one thing that drives her, and an incredible wish to please. Everybody says throughout that they can’t quite get a handle on what she is. That’s because she presents different faces to different people. You meet her on a day when she’s very much performing for a load of people. She performs in a very specific way, which is to use her sexuality incredibly overtly.

Keira in “The Misanthrope”
The Daily Mail reports that Keira will appear in a play called The Misanthrope alongside Damian Lewis and Tara Fitzgerald. The show will commence its run in December and Keira will play Jennifer.
Keira Knightley has cancelled her close-ups in front of movie cameras for a while so she can make her stage debut in the West End in December.
Last night, the Oscar-nominated actress was said to be ‘terrified but excited’ about appearing in a modern-day version of Moliere’s 17th century masterpiece The Misanthrope, in which she will play a flirtatious Hollywood film star, joining an ensemble cast led by Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre actor Damian Lewis, who plays the title role.
Tara Fitzgerald and Dominic Rowan will also star. Rehearsals start the middle of next month, with preview performances at the Comedy Theatre from December 7 and an official opening night on December 17.
