Judith Chapman to Star as Vivien Leigh in Rick Foster’s Vivien

Stage and television series regular Judith Chapman will play movie star Vivien Leigh in the Los Angeles premiere of Rick Foster’s Vivien, to be presented by Rogue Machine, August 12-September 4. Elina de Santos will direct this fundraising production, which will benefit Rogue Machine.

The play is an illuminating journey beyond Vivien Leigh’s triumphs into the madness that tortured her all of her life, as she reflects on her tumultuous relationship with actor Laurence Olivier and her tragic battles with manic depression and tuberculosis.

Chapman currently plays Gloria Fisher Bardwell on The Young and the Restless, and has also appeared in many primetime series and feature films. She has previously played the role of Vivien Leigh in the West Coast premiere of Austin Pendleton’s play, Orson’s Shadow.
