8. SOUNDBITE (English) Val Kilmer:
"I have been coming to see theatre in England since I was a kid and I've always wanted to. I was very lucky to find this play and Lucy Bailey, the director, developed this with Charlotte Emmerson, who is brilliant as Cora. I'm also particularly proud because I have done several LA stories and this story takes place ten miles from where I was raised. So it was a very familiar area, the terrain of it."

"The cast is just great! They have got a fantastic energy, very talented, very emotional cast and they are very technically superb so, it's always different. It's really exciting to go to work."

VAL KILMER MAKES WEST END DEBUT

Hollywood star Val Kilmer last night (7th May2005) made his British stage debut in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' at London's Playhouse Theatre.

Kilmer stars as Frank, who drifts into Greek immigrant Nick and his wife Cora's (Charlotte Emmerson) Roadside café, with no idea of the devastating effect he'll have on their lives. Frank and Cora begin a passionate affair that leads to murder, double-crossing and dubious courtroom deals.

At the after show party, Kilmer told APTN that he has been going to see plays in London since he was a child, and was eager to tread the boards there himself.

He also says he has no problem performing the passionate piece night after night, crediting the cast for keeping it fresh.

Val Kilmer has starred in over 40 Hollywood films, including 'Top Gun', 'Willow', 'The Doors', 'True Romance', 'Batman Forever', 'Heat' and 'Alexander' and many off-Broadway productions including 'The Slab Boys' and 'Henry IV Part I'

The cast also includes Joseph Alessi, Rae Baker, Keith Barlett, Aran Bell, Mac Macdonald, Ian Pirie and Adam Rayner.
