New Mike Leigh Play Opens
The new Mike Leigh play, “Grief,” has premiered in London. (Reviews here and here.) It stars Lesley Manville (pictured), who you may remember from her acclaimed turn in Leigh’s recent film “Another Year.” Fun fact: Manville was once married to Gary Oldman, who, true to his bad-boy reputation (at least when he was young), left her right after their son, Alfie, was born. Another fun fact: I once lived in an apartment in Los Angeles whose previous tenant was Gary Oldman.
