Samantha Bond and John Marquez are currently starring in one of this year’s most highly anticipated musicals, the UK premiere of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The production is currently playing to regional audiences prior to its West End opening in April.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which also stars Robert Lindsay, Rufus Hound and Katherine Kingsley, is the inaugural production for Jerry Mitchell Productions. The show is based on the legendary 1988 film which famously starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2005 but has since been reconceived and reimagined for British audiences.
Samantha Bond plays Muriel Eubanks, a glamorous divorcee looking for love in Beaumont-sur-Mer on the French Riviera opposite John Marquez who plays Andre Thibault, Beaumont-sur-Mer’s Chief of Police.
Samantha is best known on screen for playing Lady Rosamund Painswick in Downton Abbey, Auntie Angela in Outnumbered and Miss Moneypenny in Bond films: Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day alongside Pierce Brosnan. She has also worked extensively on stage with her most notable stage credits including: What the Butler Saw and An Ideal Husband (Vaudeville), Arcadia (Duke of York’s) and Amy’s View (National Theatre/West End/Broadway) for which she received a Tony Award nomination.
