Next Fall receives UK premiere at the Southwark Playhouse; casting announced

It has been announced that Charlie Condou will star in the UK premiere of the Tony nominated Broadway comedy drama Next Fall. 

Geoffrey Nauffts's show will run at the Southwark Playhouse from Wednesday 24th September until Saturday 25th October 2014. Next Fall will be directed by Luke Sheppard, who recently directed In The Heights.

Next Fall portrays the ups and downs of Adam and Luke’s long term relationship and how they make it work - despite their differences. Luke is devoutly religious, while Adam is an atheist. However, following an unexpected accident which changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support…and answers. This timely and compelling new American play goes beyond a typical love story and paints a beautiful and funny portrait of modern romance, questioning commitment, faith and unconditional love.

Next Fall opened in New York in 2009 to huge critical acclaim before transferring to the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway in 2010, where it was produced by Sir Elton John and David Furnish. The cast also includes: Nancy Crane (Chimerica), Ben Cura (Viva Forever), Martin Delaney (Oliver!), Mitchell Mullen (The Shawshank Redemption) and Sirine Saba (The Winter’s Tale).
