News: Casting Announced For Royal Send Up

the crown dual cast

The first photo has been released from the world premiere of The Crown Dual, a new comedy by Daniel Clarkson, co-creator of Olivier Award-nominated hit shows "Potted Potter" and "Potted Panto"

Rosie Holt and Brendan Murphy are to star in the world premiere of The Crown Dual, in which two actors reimagine the story of how Elizabeth Windsor became Queen Elizabeth II (and recreate two resplendent Netflix series) in 70 minutes of hat-passing, period accents and corgi impressions. It will run at the King’s Head Theatre, Islington, from 12 March to 6 April.

Having been cruelly overlooked for her dream role as Queen Elizabeth in blockbuster TV series 'The Crown", budding starlet Beth brings her own take on the epic story of the Royal Family to the stage instead... with her agent Stanley coerced into playing (almost) all the other roles - from Prince Philip to Princess Margaret, and all the commoners in between!

Rosie Holt appeared in two Edinburgh Fringe shows last summer. Brendan Murphy regularly appears in Potted Potter, is one half of cabaret duo The Crooners, and starred as Token Guy in King Kong (A Comedy), also written by Dan Clarkson and directed by Owen Lewis.

Director Owen Lewis was an Olivier Award nominee for Morecambe and Wise homage Eric and Little Ern. The producer is James Seabright.

The Crown Dual runs from Tuesday 12 March - Saturday 6 April, 2019. tickets and info here: www.kingsheadtheatre.com
