There is so many reviews being written about Cate and the play Gross und Klein and I can’t post them all but here is some for you to read:

Time Out (UK)
Metro (UK)
Bloomberg (UK)
The Telegraph (UK)
The Independent (UK)
FT (UK)
The Stage (UK)
Express (UK)

I’m a little behind on updates because I’m so busy offline but I will try and get back on track as soon as posssible. As you probably know have Cate been in Paris, France and she has been interviewed by for example Elle (France) with a new photoshoot.

She was also video interviewed twice and you can view France 24′s interview here and Canal+ (France) below. I will try and add the videos to the video archive in a day or two.

Cate was awarded with ‘Knight of the Order of Arts and Literature’ in Paris, France on March 31. Congratulations to Cate!

The Oscar-winning actress will take the stage with the Sydney Theatre Company in a new English adaptation of Gross und Klein by Botho Strauss.

Arguably Australia’s finest actress, Cate Blanchett will make her debut in May 2012 at the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) in the European premiere tour of Martin Crimp’s new version of Gross und Klein (Big and Small). Vienna Festival director, Luc Bondy, was originally meant to direct the piece at it’s Australian premiere at the Sydney Theatre Company (STC) in Sydney in November 2011. Due to back problems, however, Bondy was ordered by his doctor not to fly to the fifth continent.

Andrew Upton:

Benedict came in late to do the production. After the other director, Swiss Luc Bondy fell sick.

On whether a director can have a lot of input at such a late stage:

Andrew:

Benedict had worked with the cast and crew before and brought his own input into the room and also speaks through other elements that weren’t his (the original director’s instead).

Richard Piper:

I auditioned in year and a half ago. I could have been in a home (laughing). Instead I get to go to Europe.
