Matt Rippy Joins UK ‘Bible’ Cast

RSC veteran Matt Rippy is joining the UK cast of The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) for the final five weeks of its 97-city UK tour.  Matt joins Jack Bennett, Simon Cole, and William Meredith who have been performing the show since September 2008, and replaces the boldly blond John Kielty who recently took a job with the National Theater of Scotland that was too good to refuse.Matt also directed this touring production (written by Adam Long, Reed Martin, and Austin Tichenor) so the challenge will be whether he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.  UK riot police are standing by.
