Rumor: Jamie is in talks to play in Chichester Theatre's 'Someone Who'll Watch Over Me'


@TheFALLFans: "Jamie Dornan is in talks to make his stage debut in Irish play SOMEONE WHO'LL WATCH OVER ME at @ChichesterFT! #JamieLiveOnStage"


Info about "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me" from Chichester Theatre's website:

SOMEONE WHO'LL WATCH OVER ME
by FRANK McGUINNESS
Minerva Theatre10 Sep - 10 Oct 2015 
‘We are in a decidedly perilous position, to put it mildly.’ 
Adam, an American doctor, Edward, an Irish journalist, and Michael, an English academic, have little to unite them beyond being human in the same small space. Yet somehow, together, they determine to ward off madness and forestall despair. 
Somewhere lurk their unseen captors yet, in the cell, there are stories of adventure and love, there is song and laughter, and even a surge of writing, cocktail-drinking and movie-making. 
Based on the experiences of those taken hostage in Lebanon in the 1980s, Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me is playwright Frank McGuinness’s hymn to the defiant power of the human spirit and the creative imagination. First staged at Hampstead Theatre in 1992, it transferred to the West End before going on to win the 1993 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Foreign Play. 
Director Michael Attenborough makes his Chichester debut. Whilst Artistic Director of the Almeida Theatre between 2002 and 2013, his award-winning productions included Measure for Measure and David Eldridge’s The Knot of the Heart. From 1996 to 2002 he was Principal Associate Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company. 
David Haig returns to Chichester to play Michael, following his appearance in Festival 2014’s highly acclaimed Pressure, which he also wrote.
