The Producers of Legally Blonde have announced Alan Ayckbourn’s new production of A Chorus of Disapproval starring a host of big names, at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre.
Making his West End theatre debut, Rob Brydon will star alongside Nigel Harman (Shrek, EastEnders) and Ashley Jensen (Extras, Ugly Betty) in this riotous comedy directed by Olivier and Tony award-winner Trevor Nunn.
Joining the trio on stage will be Teresa Banham, Daisy Beaumont, Georgia Brown, Rob Compton, Matthew Cottle and Steven Edis, with further casting to be announced shortly.
Storyline
The Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society’s production of The Beggar’s Opera is going off the rails, that is until a handsome but shy young widower Guy (Harman) joins the group. An instant hit with the company’s ferociously zealous director Dafydd (Brydon) and the show’s leading ladies, including Dafydd’s wife Hannah (Jensen), Guy soon gets more than he bargained for as he discovers that all the best action happens off-stage. Classic songs fill the air as the drama on stage is mirrored by the romantic rivalry and small town squabbles causing a stir in the wings of this ambitious local show.
A Chorus of Disapproval has not been seen in London since the National Theatre’s hit production over 25 years ago.
The show is set to run from 17 September 2012 to 5 January 2013. For ticket information call 0844 871 7622 or visit www.achorusofdisapproval.com
