The cast has been announced for Show & Tell, Alan Ayckbourn’s 90th play, which runs at Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre from September 5-October 5.
Performed in Ayckbourn's 86th year, Show & Tell is a celebration of theatre – a dark farce that lifts the lid on the performances we act out every day.
The five-strong cast is Bill Champion, Paul Kemp, Frances Marshall, Richard Stacey and Olivia Woolhouse.
Set and costume designs are by Kevin Jenkins.
Jack is planning a big party for his wife’s birthday; he has booked a touring theatre company to perform in the main hall of the family home. The only problem is Jack is getting a bit forgetful in his old age, and can’t remember all the details of the booking.
Meanwhile, the Homelight Theatre Company is on its knees, desperately in need of a well-paid gig. Jack’s booking is very well paid. But pinning him down on the details has been tricky: something doesn’t seem quite right...
After Scarborough, the show tours to The Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness on Windermere (October 8-12), and the New Vic in Newcastle-under-Lyme (October 15-26).
