According to this article in Playbill:

Colm Feore, the respected stage and screen actor who played Cassius in Broadway's recent Julius Caesar, will play Fagin in Oliver! in 2006 at the Stratford Festival, his artistic home in Canada.

Stratford artistic director Richard Monette announced a partial list of 2006 plays on June 27.

Oliver!, at the mainstage Festival Theatre, will be directed by Donna Feore, a Stratford veteran who, like husband Colm, has worked 14 seasons at the famed festival in Ontario.

First I see Colm Feore's mug on my Globe and Mail TV guide, and then last night after a long day I turned on the TV and caught the last 10 minutes of Colm Feore as Julius Caesar in the wonderfully swishy Senate stabbing scene of EMPIRE. Hey, nice alliteration!

Not as much blood as I hoped for (maybe it was all absorbed by the bedsheets they were wearing...) but still engaging. And his final death position on the floor was nicely art directed.

And now Stratford! I wonder how the whole husband/wife thing will work out. I'm used to telling my husband what to do and say, so maybe it will work out well for the Feores!

"I'm reviewing the situation..."
