If you’re already eagerly awaiting another season of everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure Emily in Paris, then we have some exciting news for you. Actress and Netflix icon Lily Collins is currently starring in an all-new theatre production on London’s West End that’s causing quite the buzz.
However, the play is going to be a bit different to Collins’ hilarious adventures in the French capital, as the show is a jump-scare thriller based in the beloved Spanish city and capital of Catalonia, Barcelona.
Barcelona at the Duke of York Theatre
Intrinsically and simply titled Barcelona, the must-see play is a seductive take on the thriller genre, in which an American tourist goes home with a handsome Spaniard before things take an unexpected turn to the dark side. Politics and personal views intertwine with this care-free one-night stand, resulting in a corker of a mystery that’ll leave audiences guessing and gripped.
The play is written by Bess Wohl and will be directed by BAFTA-winner Lynette Linton. Collins’ co-star is none other than fellow Netflix alumni (and total hottie) Álvaro Morte, who featured in the hit series Money Heist and is also making his stage debut with this anticipated production.
Collins took to Instagram to announce the newest project, stating: “It’s honestly a dream come true to be able to say that… I will be making my stage debut on the West End in a play I fell in love with from the moment I read it.
“It’s called Barcelona and I will be starring alongside the amazing Álvaro Morte.”
Barcelona will be playing at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre until January 11th only. Ticket prices begin at £20 and there’s even an online lottery, where the lowest price is guaranteed should you win.
