The Menier Chocolate Factory's current revival of Tom Stoppard's Travesties will transfer to the West End's Apollo Theatre, beginning performances on 3 February 2017.

The revival stars Tom Hollander as Henry Carr alongside Amy Morgan as Gwendolen, Freddie Fox as Tristan Tzara, Clare Foster and Forbes Masson.

Tom Stoppard's dazzling comedy of art, love and revolution features James Joyce, Tristan Tzara and Lenin as remembered - and misremembered - by Henry Carr, a minor British diplomat in Zurich 1917. When Gwendolen and Cecily wander in from The Importance of Being Earnest Henry's mind wanders too. He knows he was Algernon in a production in Zurich. But who was the other one?

The production, which sold out its entire run at the south London venue, receivEd Strong reviews: "Tom Hollander is hilarious in this mind-bogglingly entertaining Stoppard revival" (Telegraph); "Marber's ace production revels in the play's riotous plenty" (Independent).

The original production of Travesties won the Evening Standard award for Best Comedy and the Tony award for Best Play. This first London revival in over 20 years will be directed by Patrick Marber.
