The Daily Mail reports that American actor Ed Harris will be making his British stage debut along side his wife, Amy Madigan, in Sam Shepherd's family drama, Buried Child, this fall.
The couple completed an off-Broadway run of the play earlier this year and will be reprising their roles as a troubled married couple, with Harris in the role of Dodge, and Madigan portraying the family's problematic matriarch, Hallie.
"They have some dark secrets" Harris told the Daily Mail, "I think most families have a few secrets, or some strange aspect to their history. We're all fascinated by family dynamics, but I'd much rather sit in an audience and watch someone else's problems!"
Buried Child will run at Trafalgar Studios from November 14th until February 18th and is being produced by the New Group and Ambassador Theatre Group.
Buried Child tells the story of Dodge (Harris) and Hallie (Madigan), a couple barely hanging on to their farmland and their sanity while looking after their two wayward grown sons. When their grandson Vince arrives with his girlfriend, no one seems to recognize him, and confusion abounds. As Vince tries to make sense of the chaos, the rest of the family dances around a deep, dark secret. Poetic and cuttingly funny, this American family drama gleefully pulls apart the threadbare deluded visions of our families and our homes.
