West End Frame: Sneak peek at... Maureen Lipman, Harry Shearer & Oliver Cotton in Daytona

Production images have been released for Daytona which is currently in previews at the Theatre Royal Haymarket ahead of its official opening next Monday (7th July).

Oliver Cotton stars in the West End transfer of his play alongside Maureen Lipman and Harry Shearer. Daytona, which runs until Saturday 23rd August, is directed by David Grindley. The show received its world premiere at London’s Park Theatre in 2013. The production marks the Theatre Royal Haymarket’s first collaboration with an off-West End theatre.

Gripping, funny, poignant and full of mystery, Daytona is a play with not one but two love stories at its heart. Set in New York in 1986, Joe and Elli share a love of ballroom dancing and are practising their routines for the next big competition. Despite constant bickering, the love they have shared for nearly fifty years is clear. Then one night, out of the blue, Joe's long-lost brother Billy bursts back into their lives with an extraordinary story to tell.
