Joe Cole, the Peaky Blinders actor will be seen in The Homecoming by Harold Pinter. According to the report, the star is being cast opposite of the star Jared Harris. He is also coming back on stage after taking a break for 17 years. The actor Joe Cole has admitted that he hasn’t been on stage for any play since 2011, but the actor is quite ‘thrilled’ to be a part of the play.
Cole has also stated ‘I cannot wait to return to the stage after all these years and bring this beast to life’. The Homecoming was written in the year 1964 by Pinter. Not only that but the play has also been performed the following year. It is a story of a family that is situated in London. This play has been performed on stage over the years but its brilliance has the potential to amaze audiences each time.
Now the audience is very excited to see Joe in the play. As of now, it is coming to know that this project will start from 27th November and run till 27th January. Along with that, it also has been confirmed that Joe will play the character of Lenny and on the other hand Harris will be Max in the play. Joe Cole is a phenomenal actor who has shown his caliber in Peaky Blinder as John Shelby and also his character in Gangs of London. That is why, this time too, audiences are very excited for the play.
Joe is not the only actor who has earned big fame, Jared Harris is also a Bafta-winning actor who has won the hearts of audiences with his work. He has been seen in the Mad Men and The Crown project, where he has amazed everyone. Both the actors have showcased their talent in the finest way, which is making everyone more excited for the play. Cole has received praises like ‘He has become one of those actors whose presence is usually an indication of quality’. On the other hand, a media spokesperson has stated ‘Tragic roles seem to find Harris, likely because he’s a master at conveying grace under pressure while internally imploding, then eventually self-destructing or disappearing altogether’.
In this play, there will be the artist Robert Emms along with Lisa Diveney who is playing the character of Ruth. Robert Emms has shared her opinion and said she is ‘looking forward to piecing together’. Along with that, she has also stated ‘She’s an unpredictable woman who isn’t afraid to say no, or yes, and in that respect I hope a modern audience can empathise with her…But if they don’t, I don’t think Ruth would care. She’s a character who ultimately wants independence and happiness at the expense of men’.
In addition to all these, the director Matthew Dunster has said ‘I’ve always loved Pinter’s work. He can take working class situations and hone them into something really poetic, crystalised and potent…His plays are about patriarchal force and what it takes to resist that, whether at home or in the state’.
