John McCrea and Perry Williams to star in world premiere of SLIPPERY at Omnibus Theatre
The full cast and creative team has been announced for the world premiere of Louis Emmitt-Stern’s Soho Theatre’s Tony Craze Award winning play, Slippery, which plays at London’s Omnibus Theatre from 17 March-11 April.
Directed by Matthew Iliffe, the cast includes John McCrea, best known for originating the titular role in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie on stage, as Jude, and Perry Williams (Player Kings, Little Women UK tour) as Kyle.
Matthew Iliffe said today, “It’s a great joy to be working with John McCrea and Perry Williams, who will create the roles of Jude, a city lawyer caught in a downward spiral, and Kyle, who is pushed to the limit when their unexpected encounter turns dangerous. Together, and in such close quarters, sparks and spaghetti will fly.”
Completing the creative team are set and costume designer Hannah Schmidt, lighting designer Ryan Joseph Stafford, sound designer Anna Short, intimacy director Jess Tucker Boyd, dramaturg Gillian Greer, and casting director Nadine Rennie CDG.
“Gave it to me when he died. Thought it was a bit odd. F*ck flowers. Have an espresso machine.”
3AM in a London flat. Jude and Kyle return from A&E. Jude has slipped, but they’re both falling.
A decade after their messy breakup, old habits die hard as their surprise reunion threatens to undo them both.
This brand-new play by Emmitt-Stern will be performed in partnership with London Friend, the UK’s oldest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans charity, who have provided invaluable insight during the development of the play. Further details of this collaboration to be announced shortly.
