Tanya Franks will star in A Role To Die For, a comedy from Jordan Waller that makes its London debut at Marylebone Theatre this July.
Directed by Derek Bond, Franks (EastEnders) will play Deborah, with Philip Bretherton (As Time Goes By) as Malcolm, Harry Goodson-Bevan (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) as Quinn and Obioma Ugoala (Hamilton) as Theo.
Franks and Ugoala join the production for its London run, with Bretherton and Goodson-Bevan reprising their roles from the Barn Theatre premiere earlier this year.
She’s not just casting a role. she’s gambling with a legacy.
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: stick to the sleek, suited formula the world knows, or dare to let the next generation redefine a global icon.
The creative team is also reunited from the Barn run, with set & costume design by Cory Shipp, lighting design by Adam Foley, sound design by Amanda Priestley, video design by Matt Powell and Associate Direction from Anna Ryder.
It is produced by DEM Productions, in association with Barn Theatre, Melting Point and Bob & Co.
A Role To Die For runs at Marylebone Theatre from Saturday, July 26 to Saturday, August 30. Tickets here.
