Simm returns to stage in ‘Speaking in Tongues’
 29 June 2009, 12:23 pm |
After a long time time with no new projects in sight (not counting Doctor Who), it’s been announced Mr Simm will be going back to the stage once again this Autumn, for a play titled Speaking in Tongues at the Duke of York’s theatre in London. Completely worth the wait.
Life on Mars star John Simm, who was Whatsonstage.com and Olivier nominated for his West End debut in Elling two years ago, will return to the stage this autumn to star in the West End premiere of the 1996 emotional thriller Speaking in Tongues, written by Australian playwright Andrew Bovell, whose latest play When the Rain Stops Falling was just mounted at the Almeida Theatre.
Speaking in Tongues—which was made into the 2001 film Lantana starring Anthony LaPaglia, Geoffrey Rush and Barbara Hershey—will open at the Duke of York’s Theatre on 28 September 2009 (previews from 18 September), co-starring Ian Hart and Kerry Fox and directed by Toby Frow.

‘Doctor Who’ policy
28 April 2009, 11:50 am |
I just wanted to take a moment to clarify this site’s position on Doctor Who news/rumours at the moment. Several online and offline sources have been reporting an upcoming second appearance of John Simm’s Master in the series (yesterday’s Daily Star, for example), and there’s even a picture of the actor taken supposedly on-set.
However, that’s as far as it goes, there’s no official confirmation by BBC yet (although IMDB lists two new Doctor Who specials already in Mr Simm’s page). So I’m going to hold listing it as a project for a little longer until more information surfaces.
Also, spoilers policy goes as follows. Since this site is dedicated to informing about and promoting John Simm’s career, any news about an upcoming appearance in the series will be announced at the front page, regardless of it being casting spoilers. Plot details when posted, however, will be labelled as spoilers and hidden (with a text cut) and/or included in the project’s page (when it’s up).
Hope this makes sense! Thank you.

Two new short articles
14 April 2009, 12:26 pm |
Promotion for Skellig hasn’t provided many new (Simm-centred) interviews or articles, and most of them used bits and pieces from the Press Pack—so I won’t be uploading those. However, there were a couple question & answer interviews last week:
Hope all of you who already watched Skellig enjoyed it (I know I did—massively)! You can check out Locate TV for repeats of the programme on Sky.
