Hope, a brand new stage play written by and starring some of the Liverpool’s film and television acting talent, will receive its world première at the Royal Court Theatre next month.
Husband and wife Mark Womack (Good Cop, Route Irish, Murphy’s Law) and Samantha Womack (EastEnders, Game On, South Pacific UK tour) star in this darkly comic psychological thriller in their first stage job together since meeting on the set of Liverpool 1 in the 1990s.
The all-star cast also features television and film actor René Zagger (The Bill, Grange Hill, The Take) and the play’s writer and director, Scot Williams (Backbeat, Nice Guy Eddie, Lillies, The Crew).
Hope is a darkly comic love story wrapped within an intriguing psychological thriller, with Samantha Womack’s mysterious title character being the keeper of a secret.
