he play opens at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham on 28 February 2023.
The latest additions have been announced to the cast of the box office sensation The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Simon Friend, producer of the show, commented: "It has been an incredibly heart-warming experience touring this wonderful production, filling theatres with audiences who have otherwise been slower to come back to plays following the pandemic. While touring a play with a large cast in this climate was a considerable risk, this show has demonstrated that regional play-going audiences are certainly hungry for theatre, and never before has this life-affirming story been more relevant."
