Lily Collins (Emily in Paris<\/em>) and \u00c1lvaro Morte (Money Heist<\/em>) are set to star in the brand new play Barcelona<\/strong>, which is coming to the West End this October.

Written by Bess Wohl and directed by Lynette Linton, Barcelona<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collins said: \u201cIt has been a childhood dream of mind to perform in the West End and I\u2019m hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess\u2019 exciting play, Barcelona<\/strong>. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morte added: \u201cThe 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\u2019m looking forward to bringing Barcelona<\/strong> to life and sharing it with audiences.\u201d

The show will run at the Duke of York\u2019s Theatre<\/a> for a strictly limited 12-week run from 21 October 2024 to 11 January 2025. Keep an eye out for further announcements!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
