First Line of Duty, now Doctor Who. This Kiss Me, Kate cast is starting to look like the RadioTimes.com’s dream dinner party.
It seems Peter Davison is among those who are so in love with Kiss Me, Kate, the classic Cole Porter musical coming to London this summer.
The Doctor Who legend was announced today as joining the cast for the upcoming West End production starring Line of Duty’s Adrian Dunbar and Broadway actress Stephanie J Block.
Davison will be taking on the role of The General in this highly-anticipated show, alongside rising stars Georgina Onuorah (The Wizard of Oz / Oklahoma!) and Nigel Lindsay (Victoria / Shrek The Musical).
“So excited to be working with the inestimable Bartlett Sher in his new production of Kiss Me, Kate at the Barbican, alongside the rest of this brilliant cast. A summer to look forward to. When do we start?” said Davison.
While producer Howard Panter added: “Peter is a seasoned actor of unparalleled talent who will undoubtedly bring command and charm to the role of the General. He is yet another fabulous addition to a wonderful company of exceptional actors who will be dazzling audiences at the Barbican in London’s must-see show of the summer – an unforgettable theatrical treat for the whole family not to missed.”
If you’re new to the musical, Kiss Me, Kate is a Shakespearean romp with a double-edged soundtrack. Following the behind-the-scenes action of a musical production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, the story follows Fred and Lilli, a divorced couple playing the lead roles in the play.
A first-look trailer of the musical was released recently, showing Dunbar and Block getting into their roles. So, keep an eye as we follow more updates on this tale of romantic entanglements, dramas and bickering. After all, the course of true love never did run smooth.
