Multi-award-winning playIntimate Apparel which opened recently at Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio is to have a four-week run in London at Park Theatre's larger space, Park 200.
Intimate Apparel won its writer Lynn Nottage the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Outer Critics Circle Award and John Gassner Award amongst others.
The production is directed by Laurence Boswell, artistic director of the Ustinov Studio, and the cast includes Tanya Moodie, recently seen in Fences with Lenny Henry.
A little later in the summer Richard Bean's Toast receives its first London revival courtesy of Snapdragon Productions.
The company's artistic director, Eleanor Rhode, will direct this moving and funny play inspired by the writer's experience of working in a mass production bread plant as a teenager.
Richard Bean was the first writer to win the Evening Standard Award for Best Play for both The Heretic and One Man, Two Guv’nors, the latter also winning him the 2011 Critics' Circle Award for Best Play and the Whatsonstage.com Award for Best New Comedy.
