To those who will watch him on Broadway, let me know!

Quote:

Alan Rickman is headed back to Broadway for the first time in a decade in Theresa Rebeck’s new comedy Seminar. Tickets are now on sale for this world premiere production, which also stars TV and movie favorite Jerry O’Connell, Tony nominee Lily Rabe, Hamish Linklater and Hettienne Park. The play will begin previews at the Golden Theatre on October 17 and open on November 20, directed by Sam Gold.

Seminar centers on four young aspiring novelists who are thrilled to be participating in a private seminar taught by the brilliant but unpredictable Leonard (Rickman), an international literary legend. But as Leonard deems some students more promising than others, tensions arise. Sex is used as a weapon, alliances are made and broken, and it’s not just the wordplay that turns vicious.

Rebeck has won raves for sharp comedies including Mauritius, The Understudy and The Scene, and she’s juggling writing duties on the forthcoming NBC series Smash. Get tickets now to see Rickman tackle her latest script in this exciting Broadway premiere.

Alan Rickman finally talks about Snape.

Quote:

I know we don’t want to give away too much about Snape, but I find a rather interesting line, which is “to burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can inflict on ourselves.” That’s a line that might be familiar to you. It’s from Blood Wedding. It’s not actually from Harry Potter. Without giving away too much, how much light does that shine on Severus Snape?
Rickman: Well, he’s very focused. He lives within very tight confines – emotionally, physically. When we finally got to play a scene in what appeared to be his house, you know I often wondered what that would look like, I remember walking onto the set and saying to (designer) Stuart Craig, “I don’t know whether he’d have all these pictures on the walls.” The books, I could understand. But in a sense, Stuart was absolutely right. This was the house that his parents built. In a way, all he does is go there and you can’t believe that he would go into that kitchen and cook any food. You wonder what he eats. Is there a takeaway somewhere at Hogwarts he occasionally orders in from? Because you can’t imagine that there is any other agenda in his life than the one he’s set himself.

You haven’t spoken much about his character over the years. How important was it to you to maintain an integrity about that?
Rickman: Very important. The world we live in now is one where we leap frog ourselves all the time, and we have to give interviews about things before people have seen them so a lot of innocence is taken away from not just children – because of course grown-ups have been enjoying this series of books – but of course I come into contact with a lot of hopeful little faces clutching whatever is their latest copy of the book. And we’ve all had this experience of being pointed out to children in the street or on a red carpet somewhere. And once they get over their confusion that I don’t have a load of black hair then you can see a huge conversation going on with themselves – with this book that has opened up their imaginations – and I’ve just never wanted to get in the way of that because it’s precious and, as I say, a kind of innocence that you can’t rip away from people.

Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson star in the lyrical PBS 'Masterpiece Contemporary' installment, adapted from Christopher Reid's book.

Television Critic"The Song of Lunch," which airs Sunday as part of PBS' "Masterpiece Contemporary" series, is something you don't see every day, not even in bardic old England, whence it comes, and where a 47-minute TV drama using a narrative poem for a screenplay would seem somewhat more likely than it would here.

Love Snape/Alan! He's brilliant. Lovely picture of Emma and Alan as well.

Quote:

Alan Rickman may have hung up his wand as Hogwarts potions professor Severus Snape, but he’s yet to relinquish his fictional teaching degree. For his first major post-Harry Potter outing, the 65-year-old British actor is returning to Broadway as an ornery writing great who hosts a private workshop for fledgling novelists in Theresa Rebeck’s new comedy Seminar. His character, Leonard, is ruthless, brilliant, unorthodox, and prone to giving writing advice like, “I don’t have to go past the first five words because I already know enough and I don’t give a s—.” Leonard is also, if you haven’t already guessed, just as insecure as his young students, who are played by Lily Rabe, Jerry O’Connell, Hettienne Park, and Hamish Linklater.

Seminar, which is currently in previews at the John Golden Theatre, opens on Nov. 20.

I'm glad that Alan's finally talking about Snape, but I

that he's stayed silent all these years to maintain the integrity of his character.

**baileycat** · 11-15-2011, 01:14 PM

Love this

From last night.

Indeed. And what a character. No wonder he stayed quiet for so long!

More pics of Alan in Broadway.

Wow,

all the photos! After seeing him as Snape for so long, he looks so different elsewhere.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 11-17-2011, 03:22 AM

I will freeze from nervousness if I have to work with Alan. But then again, I can't act like an idiot in-front of Alan Rickman. Those people are so lucky!
