Oleanna tickets from London Theatre Ticket Web

	*Oleanna* Closed 17 July 2004 at the Garrick Theatre is written by David Mamet and is directed by Lindsay Posner with designs by Christopher Oram and lighting by Howard Harrison. A chilling, provocative and incisive drama, Oleanna dissects the controversial issue of sexual harassment from every emotionally charged side of the equation. When a college Professor agrees to meet a struggling student behind closed doors, their conversion yields only mutual misunderstanding... and an unexpected charge. As their antipathy turns ugly, it destroys lives, derails careers and ultimately leads to a cataclysmic event that no one could have expected. Starring Aaron Eckhart and Julia Stiles. PLEASE NOTE: Contains strong language. The play has already enjoyed one successful West End run, in 1993, when it was directed by Harold Pinter at the Royal Court Theatre, and starred Lia Williams and David Shuchet. A film followed in 1994 featuring Debra Eisenstadt and Fargo's William H Macy.

Oleanna Closed 17 July 2004
Hollywood leading man Aaron Eckhart has built a formidable reputation since he first caught moviegoers' attention in his film debut, as the unctuous businessman 'Chad', in college classmate Neil LaBute's wicked black comedy In the Company of Men (1997). Originally from Northern California, Eckhart moved to England with his family during his teens. He returned to the States to study theatre at Brigham Young University in Utah, which is where he met director/writer Neil LaBute, and their working association began. He collaborated in LaBute's Your Friends and Neighbors (1998). Eckhart then moved onto make an international name for himself with his turn as the pony-tailed biker who eventually wins the heart of Julia Roberts' award winning Erin Brockovich (2000). Reuniting with LaBute, he played as a used-car salesman opposite Renee Zellweger in Nurse Betty (also 2000) and was subsequently cast by Sean Penn to play alongside Jack Nicholson as a young detective partnered with a grizzled veteran on the verge of retirement in The Pledge (2001) before he returned to LaBute's Possession (2002) with Gwyneth Paltrow. 2003 saw Eckhart opposite Hilary Swank in the blockbuster movie The Core, and he subsequently starred opposite Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones in The Missing (for UK release in 2004), and with Carrie-Anne Moss and Ben Kingsley in Intermedia's Suspect Zero (for release in 2004). He can currently be seen opposite Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman in the box office hit Paycheck.
