It has been announced this evening that Matthew Lewis has been cast in a new-to-London play titled Unfaithful. Unfaithful was first performed at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, on 3rd August 2014.
The play runs from August 25th to October 8th at Found 111 on Charing Cross Road. Tickets to the play can be purchased here or by calling 020 7478 0100. Prices start at £35 and performance schedules are: Monday – Saturday 7.45pm or Wednesday & Saturday 3pm.
Emily Dobbs Productions is thrilled to present the London premiere of Unfaithful, a blackly comic new play starring Sean Campion (The Borgias, Stones in his Pockets), Niamh Cusack (Heartbeat, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time), Ruta Gedmintas (The Strain, The Tudors) and Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter film series, The Syndicate).
Tom is enjoying a quiet pint after work. Tara lies awake whilst her boyfriend finishes his shift. When their paths cross, a chain of events is sparked that reveal the unspoken desires and regrets of two relationships on the brink.
Sharply written by award-winning playwright Owen McCafferty (ScenesFrom The Big Picture, Shoot TheCrow) Unfaithful questions what it means to be lovers, partners and people. Directed by Adam Penford (Watership Down, A Small FamilyBusiness).
UPDATE: We found a page on writer Owen McCafferty’s website and it looks like the second male character, who we assume Matthew will be playing, is named Peter. The synopsis from his website states:
Can relationships withstand the brutality of betrayal? Joan and Tom, Tara and Peter; two couples struggling to comprehend their roles as lovers, partners and individuals. As Tom and Tara face the tedium of daily life, how far will they go to feel their hearts beat again? When their paths cross, the emotional fall-out will be explosive.
A stark and searing glimpse into the reality of our relationships – the unspoken desires, the piercing regrets, and the postponed conversations that mark us all.
