Producer Adam Roebuck has announced the cast for the UK premiere of Happy Ending, written and directed by Ronnie Larsen.
The provocative comedy-thriller will run at Waterloo East Theatre for a strictly limited four-week season, opening on 30 September, with previews from 27 September.
Starring Jimmy Essex as Andrew and Billy Walker as Mr Miller, Happy Ending explores the unexpected encounter between a gay massage therapist and a mysterious client.
Ronnie Larsen’s Happy Ending invites audiences into the private world of Andy, whose routine is upended by the arrival of Mr. Miller—a seemingly straight Trump supporter with a hidden agenda.
As the session unfolds, tensions rise, secrets surface, and what begins as a routine appointment spirals into something far more unpredictable.
“Packed with razor-sharp wit, provocative twists, and a seductive dose of suspense, Happy Ending keeps you guessing until the very last moment—because every good massage includes a happy ending… or does it?”
Jimmy Essex is best known for his role as Adam Donovan in Hollyoaks, with additional credits including GHBoy at Charing Cross Theatre, The Sandman, and Trailblazers.
Billy Walker’s stage work includes Joan Collins Blocked Me on Twitter at the Edinburgh Fringe, Men in Suits, and Frigid Bitches. His screen credits include Bleed Like Me, Psycho Therapy, and ReBroken.
The creative team includes Ronnie Larsen as director, with set and costume design by Waterloo East Theatre and casting by Sarah Goggin for Anne Vosser Casting.
