Alexandra Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Ari posted this on Links, but I thought it might spark discussion. When the Joffrey Ballet performs Ashton's A Wedding Bouquet this winter, the narrator will be Malcolm McDowell. I was a McDowell fan when I was in college -- Clockwork Orange, and a few other movies whose titles I now forget! I think this could be very, very interesting -- there was an edge to McDowell (at least in his screen persona) which could be perfect for reading Stein, and give a different coloration to the ballet. I'd count this as a coup -- wish I could see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Well, Alexandra, the Joffrey will be performing at Lincoln Center during the Ashton Festival. I don't know what they're bringing, but we can always keep our fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbro Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Alexandra, in a recent (1-2 years ago) tv interview, McDowell seemed to reveal an edgy private persona, as well, though at this point with smoothed rough spots and slight patina that come with maturity.
