Director Jamie Lloyd’s third production for his Trafalgar Transformed season in the West End, the multi award-winning The Pride, will come to Manchester Opera House in January as part of a three-week tour.

The play, which runs at London’s Trafalgar Studios until November 23, stars Harry Hadden-Paton (Posh, She Stoops to Conquer, Flare Path) as Philip, Mathew Horne (Gavin and Stacey, Bad Education, Charley's Aunt) as The Man / Peter / The Doctor, Naomi Sheldon (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Sex with a Stranger) as Sylvia and Al Weaver (Inadmissible Evidence, Coram Boy, Hamlet) as Oliver.

The play is Alexi Kaye Campbell’s heartfelt, landmark work about courage, compassion and the fear of loneliness in life’s journey towards self-discovery.

The Pride follows Lloyd’s critically acclaimed The Hothouse, starring Simon Russell Beale and John Simm, and Macbeth with James McAvoy.
