Posted: 8/11/10 at 11:27amDenis O'Hare is doing An Iliad in Princeton through November, so it would need to wait until the holidays to open if he's involved.

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:17pmDoes this seem like a tonal nightmare? Reidel calls it a "serious" play, but who takes Coolidge or Fraser seriously?

Posted: 8/11/10 at 12:18pmDenis O'Hare is brilliant, Jennifer Coolidge is always hilarious...why did they have to go and ruin it by casting Fraser? I love all the digs Riedel takes at him in the column, he is just such a joke of an actor, I have absolutely no interest in seeing him doing stage.

Posted: 8/11/10 at 1:47pmFraser has done good work in serious films before, but lately he has definitely been a joke. Not to mention he's INSANE. Still, I'm willing to give him a shot. The play doesn't sound very promising though.

Posted: 8/11/10 at 3:51pmJennifer Coolidge's performance in last year's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans should pretty much put a rest to accusations that she can only play comedy. She's only in a few scenes and is rarely Herzog's main focus in any of them, but she knocks her role as a pitiful drunk right out of the park. It's the kind of performance that would have been a sure Oscar contender had the film received better distribution. The movie itself is an exercise in pretension.

Posted: 8/11/10 at 4:19pmBrendan Fraser earned rave reviews for playing the decidedly unfunny Brick in London's CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF a decade ago. You'd be surprised by his range.
