Will Keen on Playing Vladimir Putin in ‘Patriots’ on Broadway: ‘The Sign of a Great Liar Is the Ability to Lie to Oneself’

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor How do you play someone as notorious as Vladimir Putin? It would be easy to telegraph his cruelty, to turn him into a mustache-twirling villain. Or to give over entirely to caricature, without capturing what’s beneath the surface. Will Keen, who embodies the president of Russia in Peter Morgan’s latest play, “Patriots,” avoids these pitfalls.

Judi Dench's degenerative eye condition: 'I can't see on a film set but I want to work'

There are some things that sum up what it is to be quintessentially British, and Dame Judi Dench is one of them.

Judi, 88, perhaps most famed for her role as M16 chief M in James Bond, says she wants to work “as much as I can”, despite the difficulties she’s having learning lines because of her degenerative eye condition which has left her barely able to see.
