Daniel Kehlmann's The Mentor is currently in previews at Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio for a run through Saturday 6 May, with press night on Thursday 13 April. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The Mentor stars Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham as Benjamin Rubin, Daniel Weyman as Martin Wegner, Naomi Frederick as Gina Wegner and JoNathan Cullen as Erwin Rudicek.
Directed by Ustinov Studio's Artistic Director Laurence Boswell and translated by Christopher Hampton, this marks the first time a Kehlmann play has been performed outside of Germany. In a dilapidated art nouveau villa, somewhere in the German countryside, two massive egos are set on a collision course in this perceptive and compelling comedy about art and artists and the legacy of fame.
