Bess Wohl’s play will make its UK premiere at the Duke of York’s Theatre from the 21st October until the 11th January.
Lily Collins (Emily in Paris, Mank, To The Bone) and Álvaro Morte (Money Heist, Wheel of Time, Immaculate) will be heading to the West End later this year for the UK premiere of Bess Wohl’s ‘Barcelona’.
Directed by Lynette Linton (Shifters, Sweat, Blues for An Alabama Sky),this two-hander play explores the fantasy of who we pretend to be in comparison to who we really are.
Late night in Barcelona. An American tourist goes home with a handsome Spaniard. What begins as a carefree, one-night stand becomes an invitation to danger, as the personal and political catastrophically intertwine.
By turns funny, sexy and surprising, Barcelona is a seductive thriller that will keep audiences guessing…
Lily Collins said, “It has been a childhood dream of mind to perform in the West End and I’m hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess’ exciting play, Barcelona. Working with this team has truly been a gift and I cannot wait for audiences to be taken on a thrilling journey as the play unravels. I knew the moment I finished reading the script, I had to play Irene.”
Meanwhile, Álvaro Morte said, “The London theatre scene is a vibrant and exhilarating canvas for fresh, groundbreaking work. I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of this captivating new play, marking my West End debut. I’m looking forward to bringing ‘Barcelona’ to life and sharing it with audiences.”
