US
actor John Malkovich will direct the staging of Good Canary in the Insurgents Theatre, which will be produced and led by Diego Luna, who
will take Irene Azuela and Daniel Giménez Cacho as partners of the
adventure.
Giménez Cacho added that it would be released in November… “It’s a peculiar play about a writer and I am one of the publishers. It is about the time she becomes famous and things that were not known are discovered. The subject-matter is about addictions, anorexia and public image,” underlined the actor.
Good Canary, originally by Zach Helm, is the second play directed by Malkovich. It was already released in Paris last year, but the actor had the illusion of releasing it in Mexico after meeting Diego Luna.
“Malkovich already knew me from Spain, when he was directing a movie with Javier Bardem and I was living there. Actually, Diego Luna was the one that invited me. He presented me with John and said to him ‘he is going to be in the play’ and John just said ‘ah, very well, very well’,” told Giménez Cacho.
