The Play What I Wrote Team Returns to West End with Ducktastic

The team responsible for The Play What I Wrote--writers and performers Hamish McColl and Sean Foley, director Kenneth Branagh and designer by Alice Power--are at it again with Ducktastic. The new comedy is set to begin performances at the Albery Theatre on October 11.

Whereas the Olivier Award-winning The Play What I Wrote was inspired by Morecambe and Wise, McColl and Foley now take their inspiration from the world's master illusionists, Las Vegas' Siegfried and Roy. McColl plays Christopher Ursula Sassoon and Foley plays Roy de la Rue née Street--both lads wanting to be world famous illusionists.

In addition to McColl and Foley, with a cast of Ducktastic will include Liz Crowther, Clive Hayward, Alex Kelly, Ruby Snape and Daphne. Michael Rooney will choreograph.

Ducktastic will play the Theatre Royal Newcastle from September 2 through September 17 before its West End bow.
