Photo Flash: In Rehearsal with Adrian Edmonson and More for NEVILLE'S ISLAND at the Duke of York's Theatre

Following an acclaimed run at Chichester Festival Theatre last year, the 20th Anniversary West End production previews at the Duke of York's Theatre from Friday 10th October, with an opening night for press on Tuesday 21st October 2014. The production is initially booking to Saturday 3rd January 2015. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in rehearsals below!

With a star-studded comedy cast featuring Adrian Edmondson (reprising his performance as Gordon from the original run at Chichester), Miles Jupp, Neil Morrissey and Robert Webb, Neville's Island is written by Tim Firth and directed by Angus Jackson.

Neville's Island follows the misadventures of four out-of-condition, out-of-their-depth businessmen on an out-of-control team-building exercise. Shipwrecked in the Lake District, menaced by wildlife and with only a sausage between them, our unlikely explorers battle the elements and each other as corporate bonding descends into a hilarious carnival of squabbling, French cricket and cagoules.

This celebrated production of Neville's Island marks the play's triumphant return to the West End, 20 years after the play was first seen in London at the Apollo Theatre, where it opened in October 1994. Originally presented by the Stephen Joseph Theatre in 1992 and subsequently at Nottingham Playhouse in 1994, Neville's Island was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 1995 before being adapted by Tim Firth for Yorkshire Television and presented on ITV as a TV movie in 1998 starring Timothy Spall, Martin Clunes, David Bamber and Jeff Rawle.
