Lily Collins (Emily in Paris) and Álvaro Morte (Money Heist) are set to star in the brand new play Barcelona, which is coming to the West End this October.
Written by Bess Wohl and directed by Lynette Linton, Barcelona follows the story of an American tourist who goes home with a handsome Spaniard when things take a dangerous turn. This sexy and funny play is sure to keep audiences guessing and explores the fantasy of who we pretend to be, versus the truth of who we are.
Both Collins and Morte make their West End debuts in this seductive thriller and when asked about how they feel about the production they said the following.
Collins said: “It has been a childhood dream of mind to perform in the West End and I’m hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess’ exciting play, Barcelona. Working with this team has truly been a gift and I cannot wait for audiences to be taken on a thrilling journey as the play unravels. I knew the moment I finished reading the script, I had to play Irene.”
Morte added: “The London theatre scene is a vibrant and exhilarating canvas for fresh, groundbreaking work. I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of this captivating new play, marking my West End debut. I’m looking forward to bringing Barcelona to life and sharing it with audiences.”
The show will run at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a strictly limited 12-week run from 21 October 2024 to 11 January 2025. Keep an eye out for further announcements!
