de Frutos choreographing at the National Theatre

[Lynette H]

Coming up this spring at the National Theatre is a production of Everyman, a version of a medieval morality play with  Chiwetel Ejiofor in the title role. What caught my eye was that Javier de Frutos is to be the choreographer and Clemmie Sveas (who has appeared in a number of his works, including the lead in The Most Incredible Thing) is in the cast.

That makes total sense, Lynette, as of course de Frutos choreographed Norris' West End production of Cabaret ... and this is Norris' first season as the NT AD.  Should be interesting.

Oh, how fab - and I've already got a ticket (didn't even notice that bit of casting when booking since Chiwetel Ejiofor was enough to make me reach for my bank card)

De Frutos is also the choreographer for Rufus Norris's production of wonder.land, which is at the NT from late November 2015. It premieres at the Manchester International Festival in July.
