Inside Lucian Freud’s studio (with Cressida, Russell and Maureen)

The Art Newspaper

A new play due to open next month at the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End tantalisingly promises to take us inside the studio of the headline-hitting, late artist Lucian Freud. The premise of “An Evening with Lucian Freud” (19 May-6 June), written by the art historian Laura-Jane Foley, sounds engrossing: “It is the day of Laura’s PhD viva, and she arrives early at the university research office. While she waits, she recounts the extraordinary tale of the evening she spent with the artist Lucian Freud.” Cressida Bonas, a former girlfriend of Prince Harry, stars as Laura. Video cameos by the actress Maureen Lipman and the newsreader Alastair Stewart are an added bonus (crucially, the TV astrologer Russell Grant also makes an appearance on camera).
