Dallas star Patrick Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing in the US hit TV series and is also known for roles including Mark Harris in NBC’s Man from Atlantis, Frank Lambert in the ABC sitcom Step by Step and Stephen Logan in CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful, is to appear at Darlington Hippodrome next month in a new production of the classic Broadway thriller Catch Me If You Can.
He has appeared on stage in the UK before, playing Serge in the West End production of Art (Wyndham’s Theatre, 2000)
He will be joined by Linda Purl, whose numerous screen roles include Ashley (Fonzie's girlfriend) in Happy Days, Helene in the American version of The Office, Charlene Matlock in the legal drama series Matlock and Elizabeth Gaines in Homeland, and Gray O’Brien who is best known for his portrayal of villainous Weatherfield businessman Tony Gordon in Coronation Street, as Dr Tom Deneley in Peak Practice and as Dr Richard McCraig in Casualty.
In the play, Inspector Levine is called to a house in the remote Catskill Mountains to investigate the disappearance of newly married Elizabeth Corban. But when Elizabeth suddenly turns up, her husband seems surprised—and this is only the beginning of a truly baffling train of events, in which nothing is what it seems and no-one is as they appear. Will this extraordinary sequence of surprising twists and turns lead to a murderous conclusion?
Catch Me If You Can comes to Darlington Hippodrome from 14 to 19 March as part of a national tour.
