A new adaptation of the classic Ealing Comedy The Ladykillers has been produced by Dather Ted writer Graham Linehan. A previous adaptation by Giles Croft toured successfully for Charles Vance back in 1999 and it looks like this new production will top that!
Directed by Sean Foley, the production will feature Peter Capaldi, James Fleet, Ben Miller, Clive Rowe and Stephen Wight with Marcia Warren as the unwitting widow Mrs Wilberforce.
The Ladykillers will open at the Liverpool Empire prior to its run in the West End where it will follow Lend Me a Tenor at the Gielgud.
