Ralph Fiennes headed back to Broadway

Ralph
Fiennes, who won a Tony for his performance as Hamlet in 1995 (I know don't anything about theater but I saw that
show twice, and the man so good it was almost scary), will be returning the The Great White Way this spring as the star
of the Booth Theater's revival of Faith Healer. The play - written by Brian
Friel - tells the story of "Frank Hardy, a faith healer; his loyal companion, Grace, and [Hardy's] devoted
manager" via a series of monologues. And, as if this production didn't already sound tantalizing enough, Grace
will be played by the unspeakably brilliant, two-time Tony winner Cherry
Jones, while Ian
McDiarmid - no slouch himself - is set to play the manager.The show opens May 4 - it looks like Julia Roberts has herself a little competition for the cinema fan's Broadway buck.
