Some news of Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy's partner in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset: he's returning to theatre in Blood from a Stone, directed by Scott Elliott for the New Group at Theatre Row in New York.

In rehearsing this, how did you get that family feeling going? I kept thinking, "That's a real family there. I understand that." It just really communicated to me. How do you, as actors, rehearse that?
EH: I dunno. That's just luck of the draw. I remember the first day I met Julie Delpy [his romantic co-star in 1995's "Before Sunrise" and 2004's "Before Sunset"], I couldn't stand her, but the first day I acted with her, I thought, "I'm going to know this woman my whole life." Sometimes you can play well with others, sometimes you can't — and it's not entirely up to you. It's a real challenge when you’re putting together a team of people who have to play together.
