The comedy is set to begin performances at the theatre on the 26th July.
Rehearsal images have now been released for the London transfer of the Barn Theatre’s production of A Role to Die For by Jordan Waller, playing at the Marylebone theatre for a limited season from the 26th July until the 30th August.
Directed by Olivier Award winner Derek Bond, the cast for the production is led by Tanya Franks (EastEnders, Pulling, Broadchurch) as ‘Deborah’, with the cast also including Philip Bretherton (As Time Goes By, The Final Cut) as ‘Malcolm’, Harry Goodson-Bevan (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, West End, Saturday Night Fever UK and Ireland tour) as ‘Quinn’, and Obioma Ugoala (Hamilton, original West End cast, Frozen, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, The Book Thief, Leicester Curve) as ‘Theo’.
It’s the eve of the biggest casting reveal in Hollywood: Deborah is about to announce the next face of the world’s most legendary spy franchise. The tux is pressed, the martinis are chilled… until the rumours start flying. Her perfect pick? Caught in a scandal that would make even their on-screen alter ago look tame.
With a ticking clock and a legacy on the line, Deborah must make an impossible choice. Will she stick to the sleek, suited formula the world knows, or dare to let the next generation redefine a global icon?
Writer Jordan Waller said, “After a brilliant run at the Barn Theatre this year, I am thrilled that we’re bringing the show to London – and even more excited that Tanya Franks is stepping into Deborah’s shoes. It’s going to be a blast!”
Meanwhile, the creative team reunites from the Barn run, with set and costume design by Cory Shipp, lighting design by Adam Foley, sound design by Amanda Priestley, with the addition of video design by Matt Powell and Associate Direction from Anna Ryder.
