Nicole with 'Photo 51'
Thursday, August 27, 2015 at 8:01AM Nicole Kidman shared this photo to her facebook page yesterday
It was a privilege to actually prepare with the original Photograph 51! Thank you King's College London for the opportunity…Love, Nic xx
She doesn't list the photographer (argh) but it's quite beautiful, don't you think? For those who are like "what's 'the original Photograph 51'?" and I readily admit that I fell into that category yesterday, it's the first photographic evidence of DNA. She's starring in a play titled after this historic artifact of both photographic and scientific history and the subsequent sexist accreditation for said discovery. Murtada previously wrote about her involvement in the play. Previews begin on September 5th in London for the limited run play that will close on November 21st.. Tickets here if you're lucky to be in London this fall. And, yes, this does mean we won't see her on many red carpets this season but it's a noble sacrifice as returning to the stage often rejuvenates smart serious thespians.

In related stage / screen news, is Viola in FENCES on screen going to be a reality??

That NYT interview with Viola also made it sound as though there is some movement on the Tony Kushner-penned Barbara Jordan biopic.
Why does Denzel insist on directing? Hire a talented black writer-director for the adaptation. Viola Davis will earn her elusive Oscar soon enough.
OMG, I actually will be in London in early Oct. Tickets purchased. Thank you for the heads-up!
Mareko -- TAKE ME WITH UUUUUUUUUU
I'll be there as well. Can't wait.
The Nicole photo is pretty, but I don't see a woman who is 48, let alone the sunny young woman who was Nicole when she first started out in show business. Would she explode if she allowed a wrinkle? Break a leg.
I wish I could see her - I like seeing A list actors and actresses take the stage.
Theatre is a great art form, and it definitely has positive effects on performers in terms of
confidence and range. Bravo!
Tickets purchased for October! Yassss!
