⭐ DAVID JASON, STEPHANIE COLE & ANTON LESSER TO STAR IN A COLD SUPPER BEHIND HARRODS – STREAMING LIVE FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY ⭐
Original Theatre Company, in association with Perfectly Normal Productions, will reunite David Jason, Stephanie Cole and Anton Lesser, the original stars of the BBC Radio 4 play, A Cold Supper Behind Harrods, it has been announced.
Reuniting for one night only, for a semi-staged, rehearsed reading, to be live streamed from the stage of the Oxford Playhouse.
50 years after the war that first brought them together, three Special Operations Executive agents meet once again to record interviews for a television documentary investigating the murder of their colleague at the hands of the Gestapo.
As Leo, Vera and John wait to be interviewed in a beautiful English garden, drinking tea and doing the crossword, pleasantries give way to deeper, darker subjects, including their own conduct during the war. A web of lies, self-deception and guilt begins to emerge. In this drama, inspired by real characters and events, it is only as the three former agents depart for London in a taxi – for “a cold supper behind Harrods” – that the disturbing truth finally emerges.
David Jason will star as John Harrison, Stephanie Cole as Vera Atkins and Anton Lesser as Leo Marks. Also in the cast will be Saffron Coomber and Lucy Doyle.
The play, written by David Morley and originally presented on BBC Radio 4 in September 2012, will be directed by Philip Franks, who also directed the original radio play.
The performance will also be followed by a Q&A with the cast and creative team.
A Cold Supper Behind Harrods will be streaming live for one night only, on Friday 11th June 2021 – 7:30pm.
