Ellen Robertson steps in to perform MRS DELGADO at The Old Fire Station in Oxford

The Old Fire Station have announced that Ellen Robertson will step in to perform the role of Helen in the world première of Mike Bartlett’s Mrs Delgado.

Robertson replaces Rakhee Sharma, who has had to withdraw from the production due to unforeseen circumstances.

The production, directed by Clare Lizzimore, will run with an amended schedule, previewing from 8 December and running until 21 December. It will also be livestreamed on 11 & 14 December.

Producer Alexandra Coke said "We are delighted to welcome Ellen back to the OFS, after her appearances in Snowflake in 2019, and last year's filmed show An Intervention. Ellen is a great comedian and a fantastic actress - you can see a pilot for her show Britney, along with her comedy partner Charly Clive on BBC iPlayer. We can't wait to work with her again, and we'd like to thank her for stepping in so close to opening night."

Helen, along with 67 million other people, is in lockdown. Unfortunately Helen’s nearest neighbour, Mrs Delgado, is not. 

Mike Bartlett’s funny and poignant new play tells a story of desire, control, raised blinds and lowered boundaries.
