Off the Cuff

April 2000: Joseph Fiennes is going to play a cowboy in Turkey in the film Dust which spans 3 time periods. He's currently filming in New York before heading off to Macedonia.

Joseph can be heard on the audio cassette (published by the BBC) of Bronte's Villette; a play previously broadcast on Radio 4.

Plus, one of the Blueshirts tailors has seen him naked! (OK, I should add that it was in Troilus and Cressida.)
