Mr Dance in the cast of Hangs Ups
David Tennant, Charles Dance and Richard E. Grant are among the raft of talent that has been set to appear on Channel 4’s upcoming dark comedy Hang Ups, the remake of Showtime’s Emmy-nominated series Web Therapy. The six-part UK version, as previously announced, will be led by Episodes’ Stephen Mangan as Richard Pitt, a therapist at a crossroads who starts treating patients via webcam.

From reviews of Euphoria : aouch !
https://aboutactorcharlesdance.blogspot.fr/
Two estranged sisters with beaucoup unresolved issues meet for a European holiday in Swedish writer-director Lisa Langseth’s inauspicious English-language feature “Euphoria.” The first production out of star Alicia Vikander’s Vikarious Film stable, this oh-so-serious, hysteria-tinged drama, which is impossible to write about without spoilers, plays as if it might have come from Yorgos Lanthimos’ bin of discarded ideas. A prestige cast including Eva Green, Charlotte Rampling and Charles Dance will entice distributors to take a look, but the post-screening take-away is definitely not happiness or excitement, but rather something that could be described by other “e” words — such as excruciating and embarrassing.

.........................
there’s time to introduce a few other guests. These include Mr. Daren (Charles Dance), a cynical brain-tumor sufferer, whose loud, vulgar farewell party contravenes every aspect of the peace and quiet that the other guests are paying for, and Brian (Mark Stanley), a paraplegic former pro-soccer player whose death wish is extinguished by a night with Emilie.
.................
But even if audiences find themselves able to remain in their seats until the end of “Euphoria” (men, especially, fled the TIFF press and industry screening in droves), the catharsis feels fake and unearned. Moreover, the film lacks the warmth and respect for all of of its characters displayed in Langseth’s previous work.
http://variety.com/2017/film/reviews/euphoria-review-1202552719/EUPHORIA marks the English-language debut of Sweden’s Lisa Langseth and it is simply terrible. This is new age stuff that many will just gawk at.
The written dialogue is also plain awful.....
..... for the script is too predictably cliched. Charles Dance puts a bit of life into the film as a dying man who organizes his own farewell party. The film turns out to be a muddled look on death mortality.

Charles at the San Sebastian fortnight festival with CincinatiSymphonie
29th August 2017 Palacio de Congresso del Kursaal, San Sébastian
Reciting the texts of Abraham Lincoln supposed to Dance "a great responsibility". And more, he added, "taking into account who the current tenant of the White House is . " The actor, who takes part in this musical assembly for the third time after his time at the Edinburgh Festival and the London Proms, emphasizes that the writings of the sixteenth president of the United States are still in force today, "although they are too long to hang them in A tweet ".
Dance is "delighted" with the work he has done with the orchestra and director Louis Langrée because he assumes, he says, "take on emotional risks." "Being constantly aware of the image or the cameras" makes the actors "forget what is really their profession," which consists, he says, in "getting a text to the public as best you can without thinking of one same". And he has admitted that at this point he can not avoid having a somewhat "cynical" view of his profession. " The actors constantly complain about how hard it is to shoot a movie," he says, "but this work does not consist in putting out fires or enduring wars.
