Suchet and McGovern Join Richard Dreyfuss in London's Complicit

Directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey, the new play begins performances at the Old Vic Theatre beginning January 7 and runs through February 21. Opening night is set for January 19.

On TV, she has appeared on the ITV remake of A Room With A Few and the recent BBC hit Freezing.

Suchet returns to the stage after performances in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest and Othello, as well as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Aldwych Theatre, Separation Hampstead Theatre, Oleanna Royal Court Theatre and Amadeus The Old Vic, which earned him an Olivier Award nomination before transferring to Broadway, where he received a Tony Award nomination as well. Suchet has appeared on the big screen in Decision, A Perfect Murder and The Bank Job. A TV regular, he may be best known for his role on Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Complicit will include design by Rob Howell, lighting by Howard Harrison, video by Jon Driscoll and sound by Simon Baker for Autograph.
