Donmar Warehouse's MY NIGHT WITH REG to Transfer to the West End This Winter

The Daily Mail writes that Donmar Warehouse's summer 2014 production of Kevin Elyot's Olivier-winning play MY NIGHT WITH REG is headed to the West End's Apollo Theatre from January 23 for a short run.

Original stars Jonathan Broadbent (as Guy), Julian Ovenden (as John), and Lewis Reeves (as Eric) will move with the production, as well as Geoffrey Streatfeild, Matt Bardock and Richard Cant.

On its premiere, MY NIGHT WITH REG defined a moment in the lives of gay men and became an instant classic. The comedy is set in London's gay community in the summer of 1985 against the back drop of the mounting AIDS crisis. At Guy's London flat, old friends and new gather to party through the night. This is the summer of 1985, and for Guy and his circle the world is about to change forever. Deliciously funny and bittersweet, Kevin Elyot's comedy captures the fragility of friendship, happiness and life itself.

Broadbent has appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream (Lyric Hammersmith), Hamlet (Rose Theatre), Ghost Stories (Duke Of York's Theatre),Chekhov in Hell (Soho Theatre, The Drum Theatre Plymouth) and Three Sisters (Lyric Hammersmith). He has also appeared in feature films As You Like It and The Magic Flute.

Julian Ovenden previously appeared at the Donmar in Grand Hotel and Merrily We Roll Along. Recent theatre credits include Sunday in the Park with George (Théâtre du Châtelet), Finding Neverland(Leicester Curve), Death Takes a Holiday (Roundabout, New York) and Marguerite (Theatre Royal Haymarket). Extensive television work includes Downton Abbey, Smash, Any Human Heart, Midsomer Murders and Charmed.

Lewis Reeves has appeared onstage in Our Boy s(Duchess Theatre) and Muscle (Shock N Awe). He has appeared in well-known television productions including Our World War, Misfits, Inspector George Gently and Law and Order.
