The reviews are in for the West End premiere of The Man in the White Suit, an adaption of the Ealing Studios comedy written and directed by two–time Olivier winner Sean Foley. Starring Stephen Mangan and Kara Tointon, the London premiere follows a three-week run at Theatre Royal Bath.
The Man in the White Suit began performances at Wyndhams Theatre in the West End September 27 ahead of an October 8 opening.
The cast also includes Sue Johnston as Mrs. Watson, Richard Cordery as Birnley, and Richard Durden as Sir John, with Delroy Atkinson, Katie Bernstein, Ben Deery, Matthew Durkan, Rina Fatania, Oliver Kaderbhai, Eugene McCoy, Elliott Rennie, and Katherine Toy.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
