The Little Dog Laughed

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Douglas Carter Beane’s award winning play The Little Dog Laughed is now premiering at the Garrick Theatre in London, featuring a star studded cast. Theatre tickets for the show are on sale now.

Mitchell is a young actor with what his cutting agent Diane describes as a “slight recurring case of homosexuality”. When Mitchell meets and falls in love with rent boy Alex, his hidden sexuality is at risk of exposure, which Diane is convinced will destroy his potential career. Then it turns out that Alex has a girlfriend, and things get a little complicated.

Leading the cast in the role of Mitchell is Rupert Friend, and Tamsin Grieg plays the acerbic Diane. They are joined by Gemma Arterton and Harry Lloyd.

Friend is a regular face on screen and has been seen previously in The Libertine, The Boy in Striped Pyjama’s and The Young Victoria. The Little Dog Laughed will be his debut in the West End.

Grieg first came to our attention as in quirky comedies The Green Wing and Black Books. She has since become a prominent figure on the West End stage appearing the RSC’s Much Ado About Nothing, God of Carnage at the Gielgud Theatre and Gethsemane.

Arterton first appeared on stage at Shakespeare’s Globe, before moving on to the silver screen in St Trinian’s and Quantum Of Solace, and Lloyd recently appeared in A View From The Bridge in the West End.
