I've only seen this story in the Observer so far:

Blair: "I'll be treading the boards again"

quote:
Tony Blair has agreed to resurrect his interest in acting when he leaves Number 10 after he was approached about a major stage role by his close friend, the artistic director of the Old Vic, Kevin Spacey, The Observer can reveal.

With speculation growing over the exact date of his departure from Downing Street and how he will handle life as an ex-Prime Minister, Blair appears to have taken Gordon Brown and his closest Westminster friends by surprise with the plan to star in an autumn production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. It is likely to be a sell-out.

Will Tony play one of the witches hanged or one of the ones who hanged the witches?

Which?

The best ones are the ones that are hard to tell from the real ones.

Ah, Arthur Miller

"Death of a salesman" was a good book.

I thought it was a play. But I guess you can sell the book rights to one of those.
