Hide AdMark said: “Ever since I saw this play I’ve wanted to stage it at Rugby Theatre.
“It’s full of wonderfully written characters, and we’ve managed to pull together a fabulous cast who really bring them all to life.”
Rayner Wilson takes on the role of Florence, while Doug Gilbey-Smith makes his debut in a play at Rugby playing the part of her long-suffering pianist Cosme. Experienced Rugby Theatre actors Lloyd Richards, Sue Avison, Ann Cooper and Cathy Craddock also star.
Mark added: “It’s great to have such a talented team both on and off stage to help me put this show together, and I’m sure audiences are in for a real treat.”
