Jonny Davidson, Sinéad Donnelly, Nicholas Gauci, James Grimm and James Mackay will star in a new London production of The Crumple Zone by Buddy Thomas.
Directed by Helen Bang, it will run at the Stage Door Theatre in Drury Lane, the first pub theatre in the West End, from Wednesday 27 November – Saturday 4 January. Press night is Friday 29 November at 7.30pm.
This hilarious Off-Broadway hit, set in a run-down apartment on Staten Island, centres on three roommates coming to a crisis during one frantic Christmas weekend. Terry, an out-of-work actor who can’t keep a job or get a date, spends his days swilling cheap vodka and playing referee to a messy love triangle. Extremely funny and deeply moving, The Crumple Zone is about staying together, breaking apart, and the things we lose along the way.
Jonny Davidson’s roles include Scrooge in A Christmas Carol and the title role in Agamemnon.
Sinéad Donnelly was Hortensia in the international tour of Matilda the Musical. She choreographed Go! The Musical (A New Musical) at the Camden Fringe Festival.
Nicholas Gauci was in Phaedra (National Theatre) and played Kamal in The Mother of Kamal at the Camden Fringe Festival.
James Grimm played Harry Houdini in The Vanishing Elephant (New Victory Theater, New York and Grand Opera House, Belfast).
James Mackay’s roles include Albert in the musical Fit For a King and Ollie in Bones.
