Chris Rankin in his new role ^^
With the Harry Potter films firmly under his belt, Norfolk actor Chris Rankin returns to the stage as director of a new theatre company and stars in its first production, Henrik Ibsen’s popular classic, Hedda Gabler.
Norfolk Chris Rankin has had a busy year - he's just finished filming the latest Harry Potter film, The Prisoner of Azkaban and has been appointed director of a new theatre production company.
As well as taking on the role of director, Chris has a starring role in its first production. He plays Loevborg, the romantic lead in Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler.
The play is a tragedy exploring the role of women in the nineteenth century. Hypocrisy and double moral standards are explored by dramatising the hidden conflicts in society by opening the doors to the private rooms of the bourgeois homes.
“I’m thrilled to be playing Loevborg; it gives me an opportunity to explore the depth and range of such an interesting and diverse character,” said Chris.
"I’m loving doing Hedda Gabler, it’s an amazing experience for me, as an actor, to work on a classic play like this. We’ve been rehearsing on it for the last two weeks, spending a lot of time looking into the details of the characters and their backgrounds," he added.
"We’re very lucky to have a stunning cast, made up of professional actors from London, and local talent from North Norfolk. The production is very new, very sexy and quite shocking in places, I certainly never expected this from my first reading of the text," he said.
"I’m learning very fast about how a to run a company and do all the complicated things, like trying to get hold of the set, designing the programmes, looking after the cast and making sure everyone’s happy," he said.
"I also have to make sure we get press coverage and that the posters have been distributed! But I can safely say it’ll be a superb show!" he added.
