Brian Epstein Play Opens on London's West End
Epstein: The Man Who Made The Beatles, the long-awaited play about the legendary music manager Brian Epstein, opened at London's Leicester Square Theatre on Monday night, with stars of stage and screen turning out for the press night performance. The show will run for six weeks until Saturday, September 6.

Celebrity guests at the opening included Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer Holly Johnson, record mogul Seymour Stein, Coronation Street actors Philip Lowrie, Gwen Taylor and Charlie Condou, musician and photographer Mike McCartney, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, Merseybeat singer Beryl Marsden, Everton chairman and theatre producer Bill Kenwright, along with actress Jenny Seagrove, The Beatles' booking officer Joe Flannery and Merseyside MP's Angela and Maria Eagle to name but a few.

Stars of the show Andrew Lancel and Will Finlason received a standing ovation for their portrayal of Brian Epstein and fictional character 'This Boy'; both returning to the roles after the show premiered in Liverpool in 2012 as part of the city's official Beatles 50th Anniversary celebrations at the city's Epstein Theatre.

The show opens hot off the heels of The Beatles 50th Anniversary celebrations happening around the world, Brian Epstein posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and also the unveiling of a commemorative blue plaque at the London offices of Epstein's company NEMS on 29th June. Brian would have celebrated his 80th birthday this September.

Epstein: The Man Who Made The Beatles is the untold story and window into the private world of the gay, Jewish, music entrepreneur whose stellar career as the Beatles manager made him a household name yet whose controversial personal life remained very much in the closet. Brian died in 1967 of a concluded accidental overdose at the age of 32.

This two-hander play imagines this brilliant but troubled man's drug-fuelled final days whilst looking back upon his illustrious adult life and meteoric career from his drama school days to managing the world's biggest pop group - a must-see opportunity to discover a previously unexplored story and celebrate a true icon of 1960's popular culture ' a man who shaped music and style across the world.

Charlie Condou is to star in the UK premiere of the Tony nominated Broadway comedy drama Next Fall. 

Next Fall, by award-winning by Geoffrey Nauffts, will play at Southwark Playhouse from Wednesday 24 September - Saturday 25 October.

Next Fall wil be directed by Luke Sheppard, whose critically acclaimed production of In The Heights was a sold-out smash hit at Southwark Playhouse earlier this year.

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. 

Geoffrey Nauffts won the John Gassner Award at the Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best New American Play for Next Fall. The play was also nominated for Outstanding Play at the Drama Desk Awards (2010), Outstanding New Broadway Play at the Outer Critics Circle Awards (2010) and Best Play at the Tony Awards (2010).

Charlie Condou (who plays Adam) became a household name playing series regular Marcus Dent in the ITV drama Coronation Street. His theatre credits include: Dying for It (Almedia Theatre), The Changeling (Southwark Playhouse), Shopping & F***ing (No 1 tour), Cracked (Hampstead Theatre), After The Rain (Gate Theatre). On TV he played Renoir in the BBC drama The Impressionists and had guest roles as Nino in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Giles in Dead Babies.

The rest of the cast are: Nancy Crane, Ben Cura, Martin Delaney, Mitchell Mullen and Sirine Saba.

Director: Luke Sheppard

Designer: David Woodhead

Lighting Design: Howard Hudson

Sound Design: David Gregory

Casing: Sophie Parrott

Produced by James Quaife Productions and David Adkin Limited.
