Jonny Lee Miller and Tanya Reynolds will reprise their roles for the West End transfer of theatre hit A Mirror.
British playwright Sam Holcroft’s critically acclaimed production will move to the Trafalgar Theatre for a 13-week run, with a press night on February 1 2024.
Trainspotting star Miller and Sex Education actress Reynolds performed in the original production as Celik and Mei respectively, alongside Anatomy Of A Scandal star Geoffrey Streatfeild as Bax at the Almeida Theatre earlier this year.
They will return to their roles in the play which interrogates censorship, authorship and free speech, alongside Bafta-nominated actor Samuel Adewunmi – who will be making his West End debut as Adem.
He replaces Top Boy’s Michael Ward who was part of the original cast.
Director Jeremy Herrin said: “I’m overjoyed that we get to share Sam Holcroft’s A Mirror with even more people at the Trafalgar Theatre next year, following our initial sold-out run at the Almeida Theatre.
“Sam’s timely and darkly comedic play, boasts big ideas, live music and terrific performances, and I’m delighted to be working with Jonny Lee Miller, Tanya Reynolds, Geoff Streatfeild and our new cast member Samuel Adewunmi to bring this hugely entertaining and thought-provoking play to life in the West End.
“It’s a wild ride that’s not to be missed.”
Mr Herrin is currently directing Ulster American at Riverside Studios, starring Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis and Louisa Harland.
General sale tickets will be available from 10am on November 30, while priority booking will open on November 28 at the same time.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
