Artistic director, Jez Bond, said: ‘We’re very fortunate that the leading actors in our country understand the power and importance of smaller scale theatres and the challenges they face. 

‘Performing across the run are a mixture of those who’ve supported us since the building was a hard-hat site and those who’ve come to know us more recently. I am grateful to everyone who has donated their time to help raise vital funds by performing this show – and am thrilled they’re so up for it.’

The show runs at the Park Theatre from  July 15 to 27, and a trailer has been released today, too:
