Timothy Watson, best known for his role as villainous Rob Titchener in The Archers, leads the cast of The Winslow Boy running at The Lowry from April 9 to 14.
He is joined by Tessa Peake-Jones as Grace Winslow and Aden Gillett as Arthur Winslow.
Having been expelled from the Royal Navy College for stealing a five-shilling postal order, young cadet Ronnie Winslow’s entire family is pulled apart by the repercussions of this charge. Set against the values of 1910 Edwardian London, the Winslow family fight to clear his name.
The 1946 play became one of Terence Rattigan’s best known and most loved works.
