Shaun Dooley & Emily Bruni
Shaun Dooley (Broadchurch) and Emily Bruni (Peep Show) will star in a West End season of Steven Berkoff one-act plays. Directed by Nigel Harman, Lunch and The Bow of Ulysses will play a limited engagement at Trafalgar Studios from October 6 through November 5. Opening night is set for October 10.
Lunch (1983) and its sequel The Bow of Ulysses (2002) are two of Berkoff’s finest small pieces, examining the relationship between a couple when they first meet and have, what appears to be, an abortive one-night-stand; and how they are years later after two decades of marriage.
The production will feature design by Lee Newby, lighting by Joshua Carr, movement by Alistair David and sound by Ben and Max Ringham.
