The show runs 5 March until 30 April with press night on 17 March. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the company in rehearsal below!

Two men. Two lonely hotel rooms. An adjoining door... One of them is a killer... one of them wants to die... What could possibly go wrong? Sean Foley directs his darkly hilarious adaptation of Francis Veber's classic French farce as Kenneth Branagh and Rob Brydon reprise the roles they played to great acclaim at the Belfast's Lyric Theatre inaugural season in this comic tour-de-force.

The Winter's Tale, Harlequinade / All On Her Own, Red Velvet, The Painkiller, Romeo and Juliet and The Entertainer make up the inaugural seven-play season of work for the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company.
