PRESS RELEASE – 1 March 2019 INTRA MUROS PRESS RELEASE – 1 March 2019 IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE Adam Blanshay Productions in association with Park Theatre present the UK première of INTRA MUROS By Alexis Michalik Directed by Ché Walker Translated by Pamela Hargreaves CASTING IS ANNOUNCED FOR INTRA MUROS AT PARK THEATRE, LONDON FROM 3 APRIL UNTIL 4 MAY. DIRECTED BY AND FEATURING CHÉ WALKER WITH SUMMER STRALLEN, VICTOR GARDENER, EMMA PALLANT, DECLAN PERRING, AND JAZZ ARTIST RIO KAI AS ON-STAGE DJ AND INSTRUMENTALIST. Intra Muros will have its UK première at Park Theatre, London from 3 April – 4 May 2019. Alexis Michalik’s latest play opened in Paris in 2017 and is still running at La Pépinière Théâtre. Full of Michalik’s trademark sharp wit and extraordinary method of storytelling, this metatheatrical production will be directed by Ché Walker (writer of Been So Long, Flesh Wound, Crazy Love and The Frontline) who will also feature as the director within the play, Richard. The full cast will include Summer Strallen as Alice, Victor Gardener as Angel, Emma Pallant as Jane and Declan Perring as Kevin. Popular jazz artist Rio Kai will provide live music and digital sound mixing as an on-stage DJ. Ageing thespian Richard is preparing to direct his first theatre class in a maximum security prison, assisted by his former-actress ex-wife Jane and an inexperienced social worker called Alice. When only two inmates turn up he decides to go ahead with the class nonetheless - and so begins a captivating and darkly comic exploration of life, within the walls. Alexis Michalik is an author, actor and director with previous writing credits including Le Porteur d’Histoire which has run for over 1500 performances to date and played around the world as well as Le Cercle Des Illusionnistes. For these two pieces, Michalik received the Beaumarchais du Figaro Prize, the Jeune Théâtre de l’Académie Française Award and two coveted Molière Awards. He wrote and directed Edmond in 2016, winning five Molière Awards, having just celebrated its 800th performance in Paris and soon to be released as a feature film. A new production of Edmond directed by Roxana Silbert and starring Freddie Fox, Josie Lawrence, Henry Goodman and Chizzy Akudolu will play at Birmingham Rep from Friday 15 March until Saturday 30 March before touring to York, Northampton, Cambridge and Richmond. Intra Muros is his most recent work, having opened in Paris, 2017 at the Théâtre 13 before transferring to the larger Théâtre la Pépinière, where it continues to sell out today. Award-winning writer, director and actor Ché Walker made theatrical history with The Frontline (2008), the first contemporary-set new play to be performed at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. His play Klook’s Last Stand premiered at Park Theatre in 2014, before playing at the NAMT Festival in New York in 2017. His musical adaptation of Been So Long, which he also directed, premiered at the Young Vic and his own feature film adaptation starring Michaela Coel and Arinzé Kene (bought by Netflix) opened last year’s BFI London Film Festival. Further writing credits include Crazy Love (Paines Plough) and Flesh Wound (Royal Court, winning both the George Devine Award and the Arts Council Writer of the Future Award 2003) which has been translated and produced world-wide. Olivier Award-nominated actress Summer Strallen is known for leading West End stage roles in Top Hat, The Sound of Music, Young Frankenstein, The Drowsy Chaperone, Guys and Dolls, The Boy Friend, Love Never Dies, Cats, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. On TV, her credits include Hollyoaks in which her character Summer Shaw auditioned for and won the role of Maria Von Trapp in The Sound of Music which Strallen went on to play on stage. Victor Gardener’s recent theatre credits include But Still It Goes On and Fog (Finborough Theatre), Frank Sent Me (Soho Theatre), Enjoy (Theatre Royal Bath) and Journey’s End (Mercury Theatre Colchester). He appeared on television in Les Miserables, Press, True Horror, and as a series regular in Hollyoaks and Mr Selfridge II. His film work includes Misbehaviour, Farming and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Declan Perring’s theatre credits include Sam, The Good Person (Bunker Theatre), Our Boys and Early Birds (Q Productions), The Revenger’s Tragedy (Nottingham Playhouse), Screens (Theatre503) and Belfast Boy (Arcola Theatre). Emma Pallant’s recent theatre credits include A Christmas Carol (RSC), Lava (Nottingham Playhouse), Wind in the Willows (Rose Theatre, Kingston) and Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Comedy of Errors and Macbeth (Shakespeare’s Globe). Her television work includes Casualty, Father Brown, Holby City and Doctors. Award-winning bassist Rio Kai is a prolific fixture in the London jazz scene, playing in such bands as SEED Ensemble and Nerija, as well as hosting a jazz night at Grow, Hackney. A recent winner of the Best Newcomer of the Year Award with Nerija, Rio’s playing style includes foundations of jazz coupled with energetic rhythmical phrases and blistering lines as well as bowed work. -ENDS- For further information please contact The Corner Shop PR on 020 7831 7657 Ben Chamberlain [email protected] or Lewis Jenkins [email protected] LISTINGS Adam Blanshay Productions in association with Park Theatre present the UK première of INTRA MUROS By Alexis Michalik Directed by Ché Walker Translated by Pamela Hargreaves Park Theatre, London 3 April – 4 May 020 7870 6876 / www.parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/intra-muros NOTES TO EDITORS Producer Adam Blanshay hails from Montreal, Canada, founding Adam Blanshay Productions in 2017 with producer Edward Johnson.

Unlike most guys, Stu also falls in love with a fellow Private, a handsome All-American guy named Mitch.. YANK! tells Stu’s, Mitch’s, and Artie’s stories, as well as the stories of the other men in Charlie Company.

As the opening sequence unfolded, I began to reflect on the career of the man whose phenomenal success has led to his becoming first Sir Andrew and then Lord Lloyd- Webber of Sydmonton (his name gaining a hyphen in the process).
