Vanessa Redgrave: Timothy Dalton
built 287 days ago
At a press conference Redgrave said she feared for the life of Zakayev if he were to be extradited to Russia on terrorism charges. He would "die of a heart attack" or some other mysterious explanation which would be offered by Russia, she said.[9] On 13 November 2003, a London court rejected the Russian government's request for Zakayev's extradition. Instead, the court accepted a plea by lawyers for Mr Zakayev that he would not get a fair trial - and could even face torture - in Russia. "It would be unjust and oppressive to return Mr Zakayev to Russia," Judge Timothy Workman ruled.[10]
Onstage, having played in Ibsen's Ghosts at the Young Vic and in Norway, Redgrave would join Timothy Dalton in The Taming Of The Shrew and Antony And Cleopatra at the Theatre Clwyd and Theatre Royal. These were successful productions but emotionally problematic as her relationship with Dalton had reached what she described as "a natural pause". They would reunite two years later, taking A Touch Of The Poet to the Young Vic, Brighton and the Comedy Theatre, but the sadness and tension was too much. Their long, stormy, stimulating affair was over.
