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.

The Garrick Theatre

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Theatre tickets soon go on sale for a brand new musical showing at The Garrick Theatre in London. All The Fun At The Fair is written by and stars David Essex, pop pin up of the seventies. The show, named after his best selling album, follows life within a travelling funfair.

Levi Lee, played by Essex, is the owner of the funfair and a recent widower trying to cope with the loss of his wife. His rebellious teenage son is causing strain with his tumultuous love life, and a recently divorced widow is showering him with unwelcome affection. After a gypsy predicts a dismal fortune, Lee is left feeling bereft and hopeless.

The score features some of Essex’s best known hits, including Rock On, Hold Me Close, Winters Tale and Gonna Make You a Star, making this theatre performance in London a guaranteed night to remember. Joining Essex in the cast will be Michael Pickering (Wicked, High School Musical), Nicola Brazil (Hairspray, Wicked, Grease) Christopher Timothy (Doctors, All Creatures Great and Small) and Louis English (Oliver!, Me and My Girl). Jon Conway is co-writer, with direction from David Gilmore, design by Ian Westbrook, sound by Steve Jonas and lighting by Ben Cracknell.

Currently at The Garrick theatre in London is The Little Dog That Laughed, by Douglas Carter Beane, premiering here in the UK after a successful run on Broadway. The cast includes Tamzin Grieg, Rupert Friend, Harry Lloyd and Gemma Arterton.
