Merrily We Roll Along will follow the Pinter’s current tenant, Old Times. Starring Kristen Scott Thomas, Lia Williams and Rufus Sewell, the play will end its strictly limited run on 6 April.
The acclaimed production is directed by Maria Friedman and stars Damian Humbley (pictured) as Charley Kringas, Olivier award winner and Tony nominee Jenna Russell as Mary Flynn, Mark Umbers (pictured) as Franklin Shepard, Josefina Gabrielle as Gussie Carnegie, Glyn Kerslake as Joe Josephson, Clare Foster as Beth Spencer and Zizi Strallen as Meg Kincaid.
