Drama
Casanova
Legendary film actor Peter O'Toole and rising star David
Tennant lead a stellar cast in Russell T Davies' major three-part drama,
Casanova.
Tennant plays the 18th-century character as a young
man whose extraordinary life takes him from Venice across Europe - much
of it as a fugitive - an outlaw for 'offences' against the government
and chruch.
O'Toole plays the older Casanova as he relives his adventures
to his fellow servant Edith, alone in a castle in 1798 - and discovers
new love.
Described by Russell T Davies as "a dazzling and very
funny story about a truly remarkable man, a genuine legend", Casanova
stars Rose Byrne as Edith; Rupert Penry-Jones
as the Duke of Grimani, Casanova's arch-rival, and Laura Fraser
is Henriette, Casanova's one true love.
Nina Sosanya is Bellino, a woman who
dressess as a man to become a successful singer and with whom Casanova
falls in love; and Matt Lucas is Villiers, a gay Venetian
Duke.
Casanova is being filmed in Mancester, and on location
in Dubrovnik and Venice.
