Iain Glen and Imogen Stubbs will star at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry in the premiere of Joanna Murray-Smith’s new adaptation of Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, to be directed by Sir Trevor Nunn, January 12-February 2. Nunn’s production will run in the Belgrade’s new 300-seat B2 auditorium, which is part of the seven-story extension added during the theater complex’s recent redevelopment.

Originally a TV series, Scenes from a Marriage follows the highs, lows and infidelities of Marianne and Johan’s marital breakdown. Murray-Smith is best known for the play Honour.

Glen starred in the West End and Broadway productions of David Hare’s The Blue Room. His many other stage credits include Henry V, The Crucible, Martin Guerre, Hedda Gabler, and Hamlet. Stubbs, who is married to Nunn, has starred on stage in Othello, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Saint Joan.

The former artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Nunn has won Tony Awards for his direction of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, Cats, and Les Miserables. He also received Tony nominations for directing All’s Well That Ends Well, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love, Sunset Boulevard, Not About Nightingales, and Oklahoma! He is currently represented on Broadway by Tom Stoppard’s Rock ‘n’ Roll, which he first directed in London, and next year, he will direct the West End production of Gone With the Wind.
