Corp id by Anita Gosch swedish film Star turns to London s old Vic stage by Matt Wolf associated press swedish screen Star Max von Sydow whose new film Pewe the conqueror won the grand prize at the Cannes film festival is turning to the English stage in a surprising career move. It s very exciting von Sydow said of his role As Prospero in Shakespeare s the tempest which opens oct. 6 at London s old Vic theater for a limited run through nov. 26. The production directed by Jonathan Miller will Mark von Sydow s first English language appearance on the London stage. He previously appeared in Britain in 1974 in a swedish staging of Henrik Ibsen s the wild Duck. That production was directed by Ingmar Bergman with whom von Sydow has had a Long and illustrious career on stage and in such films As the seventh Seal wild strawberries through a Glass darkly and the passion of Anna. On Broadway von Sydow has starred in two productions both of which were flops the night of the Tri Bades with Eileen Atkins and Bibl Andersson and due for one with Anne Bancroft. La s a very interesting idea von Sydow 58, said of director Miller s Choice that he play Prospero a part More often associated with English actors in their Twilight years i wanted to break out of the Noble aria approach English performers often take to the part said Miller who is in his first year As the artistic director of London s venerable old Vic.

He is presently appearing at the National theater of Stockholm in August Strindberg s 1872 master oof. In Bille August s prize winning danish film Pelle the conqueror von Sydow Heads a family of immigrant far workers Al the turn of the Century giving a performance for which he s won critical Praise. The film won la palme d or the lop prize it the 1 St annual Cannes film festival von Sydow was also represented Al Cannes with his directorial debut Katinka adapted from a novel by the danish author Herman bang about a three Way love affair. He said he had originally hoped to act in a movie version of the Book when he first read the novel 2s years ago. But since he was too old for the male leads he decided to direct the movie saying coincidence put the possibility in my  of his English language films. Von Sydow said he looked Back fondly on Hannah and her Sisters Woody Allen s 1986 movie in which he played Barbara Hershey s tortured irascible companion. Most of the scripts one gets Are so bad it was wonderful to receive one with intelligent dialogue said the actor. He Allen demands 200 percent of a naturalistic style. He does not allow any i Hernry phrasings or pronunciation he said. This version of the tempest will Mark the fourth major production of the play to be seen in England this year both the Star and his director said they would not be seeing the others. It s very disturbing id be influenced said von Sydow who last played Shakespeare s conjurer poet in a swedish production 35 years ago when to said he was much too  junc2,19b8
