Matthew Kelly & Simon Greenall star in revival of Richard Bean’s Toast

Matthew Kelly & Simon Greenall
Matthew Kelly and Simon Greenall will star in a London revival of Richard Bean’s first professionally produced play, Toast.

Eleanor Rhode will direct the production which opens at the Park Theatre (Park200) on Friday 29th August (previews from 27th August).

The show runs until Sunday 21st September. Further casting will be announced shortly. 

Described as a "brilliantly observed, moving and funny play", Toast is based on the year Bean spent working in a mass production bread plant with each character inspired by someone he worked alongside.

Matthew Kelly plays Nellie. His most recent theatre credits include: Twelfth Night (Liverpool Everyman), To Sir With Love (Royal & Derngate and UK tour), The History Boys (Sheffield Crucible), The Seagull (Southwark Playhouse), God of Carnage (Nuffield, Southampton), Educating Rita (Menier Chocolate Factory and Edinburgh Festival), Legally Blonde, Spamalot (UK tours), Buried Child (Curve Leicester), Waiting For Godot (Theatre Royal Haymarket) and Lend Me A Tenor - The Musical (West End)

Simon Greenall plays Cecil, marking his first stage performance for twenty years. His theatre credits include Seven Stories (Mermaid Theatre), Merchant of Venice, Woundings and Hannah Smith Casket (Royal Exchange). Perhaps best known for his role as Michael in the TV series I’m Alan Partridge, his other television work includes Cardinal Burns, W1A, Inspector George Gently, Common People, It’s Kevin, Pete vs Life, Trapped, Harry and Paul, Holy Flying Circus, The Impressions Show, The Wrong Door and Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
