Lily Collins (Emily in Paris, Mank, To The Bone) and Álvaro Morte (Money Heist, Wheel of Time, Immaculate) swap the big screen for the West End in the UK premiere of Bess Wohl’s explosive two-hander play Barcelona. Directed by Lynette Linton (Shifters, Sweat, Blues for An Alabama Sky), the play runs for a strictly limited season at the Duke of York’s, from 21 October 2024.
Late night in Barcelona. An American tourist goes home with a handsome Spaniard. What begins as a carefree, one-night stand becomes an invitation to danger, as the personal and political catastrophically intertwine.
By turns funny, sexy and surprising, Barcelona is a seductive thriller that will keep audiences guessing - exploring the fantasy of who we pretend to be, versus the truth of who we are.
Lily Collins said, “It has been a childhood dream of mind to perform in the West End and I’m hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess’ exciting play, Barcelona. Working with this team has truly been a gift and I cannot wait for audiences to be taken on a thrilling journey as the play unravels. I knew the moment I finished reading the script, I had to play Irene.”
Álvaro Morte said, “The London theatre scene is a vibrant and exhilarating canvas for fresh, groundbreaking work. I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of this captivating new play, marking my West End debut. I'm looking forward to bringing 'Barcelona' to life and sharing it with audiences.”
Bess Wohl said, “Having my work on the West End with such phenomenal collaborators is a dream come true. I'm honoured to have the chance to share this play with London audiences.”
Lynette Linton said, “What a privilege to be working with this incredible team of artists to bring Bess’ words to life. I can’t wait to get in the room with everyone. Come Through!”
