I'm delighted to have permission to share with you a lovely photo of Zoë preparing for the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company's productions of Rattigan's All On Her Own and Harlequinade. The picture, which shows Zoe looking into a brightly lit dressing room mirror, was taken by the very talented photographer Johan Persson.

Kenneth Branagh, who will appear with Zoë in Harlequinade and is co-directing with Rob Ashford, discussed his theatre company's plans on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show, broadcast last week.

Branagh provided an intriguing description of monologue All On Her Own: it's an 'amazing, half-hour, one-woman show, which is about a dangerous woman alone at night with a bottle of whisky and a bag of secrets'. Zoe is 'fantastic' in the show, he emphasised.

His comments were very well received by members of the audience, with Graham Norton quipping that 'They're going to book that!'

Branagh also talked about Harlequinade, an 'out-and-out comedy' that affectionately pokes fun at the acting profession.

'It's nice to see Zoë Wanamaker be very funny in one and very dramatic in the other,' he concluded.

Tickets for the double bill are available. Performances will run from 24 October to 13 January at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End.
