TIME - St. Paul's Church Players presents: Alex Kingston in Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" (Act 4, Scene 1)
An Enemy of the People Summary 1/3
Okay, so there are way too many pictures to share in 1 post, so I decided to separate them.
These are all the pictures released prior to the play. Below I linked the sources for each of them (hopefully).
Second post will be the ones from the actual production and third is all the great videos/trailers!
Bonus:
Nottingham Playhouse has unveiled its 2019 autumn season, including a specially-adapted, gender-swapped production of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People,” starring Alex Kingston. Celebrated for 12 years in renowned US drama series ER, award-winning actress, TV, and film star Alex Kingston will take on the lead of Dr. Stockmann in “An Enemy of the People” in September 2019. The timely and gripping play about fake news, whistle-blowers, and the corruption of power is set in contemporary Norway where Dr. Stockmann discovers the town's famous spa waters are poisoned. British playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz has specially adapted An Enemy of the People for Nottingham Playhouse. Lenkiewicz is also an esteemed screenwriter whose credits include co-writing the Oscar winning “Ida” and “Colette,” which starred Keira Knightley. Adam Penford, artistic director at Nottingham Playhouse, said, "I am thrilled that An Enemy of the People is our headline drama this autumn, following on from the major success of The Madness of George III in November. It's a play I've had my eye on for a few years as the themes it explores feel so current; it's hard to believe Ibsen wrote it 130 years ago. Alex Kingston is a tremendous actor with a powerful stage presence and global profile. I was delighted by how passionately she felt about both the play and the character and was excited about coming to Nottingham. Likewise, Rebecca Lenkiewicz is one of the most renowned British playwrights and her new incisive adaptation brings the play bang up-to-date so it has the freshness and mass appeal of a contemporary thriller. An Enemy of the People is one of the greatest dramas ever written and audiences will be gripped by its dramatic narrative and the mirror it holds up to our society." Speaking about her role in “An Enemy of the People,” Alex Kingston said, "I am really excited about participating in the 2019 season at Nottingham Playhouse. The lead main character was written for a man and has always been played by a man; in this version it is being adapted to allow me to play this role. The piece is really timely - there are a lot of shadows within the play that echo what we are going through right now - the Flint water scandal in Michigan, the vilification of Hillary Clinton, the general state of democracy and post Brexit Britain - there are a lot of themes that will resonate for the audience in this play."
An “Enemy of the People,” directed by Adam Penford, runs from September 13-28, 2019.
I went to see Alex Kingston in Admissions at Trafalgar Studios in London. Since I’m back in London again, why not? My seat was at the very front - slightly rough on the neck! - but giving me the chance to watch the actors without any obstructions (except the desk, on occasion - and it wasn’t a “restricted viewing” seat, either).

Alex Kingston Coming to Nottingham Playhouse in Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People”
Alex Kingston is to star in a gender-swapped production of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People as part of Nottingham Playhouse’s latest season.
Kingston will take on the lead role of Dr. Stockman, which was originally written as a man, in the specially-adapted version of the play by Rebecca Lenkiewicz.
An Enemy of the People, which is directed by Nottingham Playhouse artistic director Adam Penford, runs from September 13-28.
Kingston said: “The lead main character was written for a man and has always been played by a man; in this version it is being adapted to allow me to play this role.

Alex Kingston in Admissions | Ticking boxes in the West End from 28 Feb, 2019
Back from outer space with Doctor Who, Alex Kingston is on stage in Joshua Harmon’s “Admissions”
Returning to theatre after a five-year absence, the former ER star tells Sarah Crompton why she’s keen to launch a heated debate about class. And why she’ll always be a Time Lord’s wife.
It is 10.30 on a Monday morning and the actress Alex Kingston is sitting on a throne. The heavily gilded chair with a deep red velvet cushion is the only choice of seating in the small, bare room where we are talking — and it makes her laugh.That laugh is uncannily familiar from some of TV’s most popular series. It rings down from the long-running hit ER, in which Kingston played the British surgeon Elizabeth Corday, her cut-glass vowels scything through the Chicago emergency room for eight memorable series. More recently, the laugh made River Song an enlivening, vibrant presence on Doctor Who. [x]
Alex Kingston will star in ADMISSIONS, written by Joshua Harman, an award-winning and bitingly funny new comedy from the writer of acclaimed hit Bad Jews, direct from New York’s Lincoln Centre Theater.
Sherri (Alex Kingston) is the Head of Admissions at a private school, fighting to diversify the student intake and she wants you to know about it. When her son is deferred from his university of choice, and his best friend – who ‘ticks more boxes’ – is accepted, Sherri’s personal ambition collides with her progressive values. Piercing and provocative, Admissions is 90 minutes long, but the debate will take you through the night.
Following its hugely successful run at LCT, Admissions will open at London’s Trafalgar Studios on 28 February for a strictly limited season until 25 May, before embarking on a UK tour. Following the run at Trafalgar Studios, Admissions will tour the UK playing at the Richmond Theatre (w/c 27 May 2019), the Cambridge Arts Theatre (w/c 3 June), the Malvern Festival Theatre (w/c 10 June 2019) and the Lyric Theatre at The Lowry in Salford (w/c 17 June 2019).
To launch the Northcott's 50th anniversary celebrations, it will be hosting a charity gala on Sunday 12 November. Exeter Northcott is delighted to announce that actors Ruby Bentall, Bertie Carvel and Alex Kingston will perform at the gala. They join previously announced Robert Lindsay, Paul Jesson, Joe Stilgoe, Martin Shaw, Felicity Montagu and Olivia Nixon, with Tim Wonnacott overseeing the charity auction.
