Jack Thorne’s Mydidae, which played to critical acclaim at the Soho theatre in 2012, will transfer to the Trafalgar Studio 2 later this year.
Playing from 5 to 30 March, Mydidae is billed as “a bitter-sweet study of humanity” and is an authentic and intimate exploration of a relationship between two people staged in a fully plumbed bathroom.
The first full-length play by theatre company DryWrite, Mydidae is directed by the company’s co-Artistic Director, while co-founder and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Keir Charles will reprise their roles in the production when it transfers.
Last seen on the West End stage in Hay Fever at the Noël Coward theatre, Waller-Bridge has previously appeared in Tribes at the Royal Court theatre and Rope at the Almeida theatre, as well as on screen in blockbuster film The Iron Lady.
Charles, whose theatre credits include Kursk at the Young Vic theatre, Sunday In The Park With George at the National Theatre and Incomplete And Random Acts Of Kindness at the Royal Court theatre, has appeared extensively on screen in television series including EastEnders, Doctors and Green Wing.
Best known for his work on TV series Skins and Shameless, BAFTA-winning writer Thorne’s adaptation of Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s The Physicists played at the Donmar Warehouse last year.
Mydidae will open at the Trafalgar Studio 2 following the world premiere of Fiesta (The Sun Also Rises), an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s first novel that fuses theatre with live jazz music.
