Ruth Wilson in Through A Glass Darkly



Ruth Wilson will be back on stage in Through A Glass Darkly according to the Daily Mail:

Michael Attenborough calls Ruth Wilson an 'anti-star' because she cares just for the work and not her vanity.

'She has no inhibitions at all,' the director said of the actress he will direct in the stage adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's 1961 best foreign language Oscar winner, Through A Glass Darkly.

It's about a woman caught between two worlds - one of reality and another of spiritual dimensions.

Her husband, father and brother use her, and her illness, for their own ends. 'They take what they need,' Attenborough noted. He will direct the production at the Almeida Theatre, with performances beginning June 10.

Ruth, who appeared with David Oyelowo and Benedict Cumberbatch in the small gem that was Small Island on BBC TV, went with Attenborough to Sweden last summer to perform in a workshop production of Through A Glass Darkly. Later in the year, Ruth will be seen opposite Idris Elba (from The Wire) in another BBC TV offering, the thriller Luther.

Ruth Wilson Reading Through a Glass Darkly

Next week Ruth Wilson will be taking part in a reading, script in hand, of a stage adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s film Through A Glass Darkly.

Through a Glass Darkly describes 24 hours in the life of a family vacationing on the island of Fårö, off Sweden's south east coast. Karin [played by Ruth] has been brought to the remote island by her family in order to facilitate her recuperation from a psychotic episode. However, the family’s already fragile ties are tested; with Karin’s father, husband and younger brother so consumed by their own frailties that they cannot prevent her relapse.

The reading will be on May 28 at 6.00 pm & May 29 at 8.00 pm at the Ingmar Bergman International Theater Festival.
