Rose Theatre Kingston have released images of Nick Dear’s double-bill, Hogarth’s Progress. Anthony Banks directs Bryan Dick as the younger William Hogarth in the first major UK revival of Dear’s acclaimed comedy The Art of Success, which follows Hogarth through a bawdy night in 1730 and Keith Allen as the older William Hogarth in the world première of The Taste of the Town.
The plays will run in rep as part of Rose Theatre Kingston’s 10th anniversary season; opening Saturday 29 September, with previews from Thursday 13 September, and running until Sunday 21 October. Each play can be seen as a single performance or enjoyed together, either over different days or as a thrilling all-day theatrical experience.
