Photo Flash: Poster Revealed for West End's BUG, Starring James Norton & Kate Fleetwood

Tracy Letts' play BUG will mark its 20th anniversary with a starry production at Found111 this spring.

James Norton (War and Peace, Happy Valley) and stage vet Kate Fleetwood (London Road, Medea) will lead the cast, directed by Simon Evans (The Dazzle) and produced by Emily Dobbs. BUG runs March 24 through May 7, 2016. Press night is Tuesday, March 29, at 7.00pm.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, Norton described his character Peter as "a victim of the undercurrents of neurosis. He's a vulnerable soul; a conspiracy theorist gone mad. I feel like he's a time bomb. Society can become an unhealthy pressure cooker -- and he just happens to be the first popcorn that pops."

Found111's official description of the play reads: "A seedy motel room. Oklahoma City. Summer. Agnes, a lonely cocktail waitress, is holed-up from her violent ex-con ex-husband, seeking solace in drink and drugs. Until a stranger arrives. Tense and blackly comic, BUG is a taut exploration of two people on the edge; where the lines between reality and delusions become blurred."
