The cast is today announced for the UK premiere of Scooter Pietsch’s hilarious and chaotic comedy Windfall, directed by Mark Bell, best known for directing West End hits ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ & ‘The Comedy About a Bank Robbery’.

Judith Amsenga, Audrey Anderson, Jack Bennett, Joanne Clifton, Wesley Griffith, Gabriel Paul star in  Windfall, which arrives at London’s Southwark Playhouse following a critically acclaimed run in New York in 2022.

It previews from Thursday 9 February and runs for five weeks to Saturday 11 March.
Press night Tuesday 14 February at 7.30pm.

       

Pushed to the edge by their maniacal boss, five downtrodden office workers decide to risk it all on a $500million lottery ticket in the hope of a better life. Co-workers become accomplices, lovers become rivals, and friends become enemies as the prospect of winning brings out the very worst in everyone. Just how far will they go to have it all?

Judith Amsenga was Mrs Peacock in the 2022 UK tour of ‘Cluedo’, also directed by Mark Bell. Her films include Mike Leigh’s ‘Mr Turner’.
