Full cast announced for comedy IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT TOWARDS US at Park Theatre

Full casting has been announced for It’s Headed Straight Towards Us, a comedy written by stars of The Young Ones, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer, playing at the Park Theatre from 13 September-20 October.

Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh. Nenda Neururer will play Leela alongside the previously announced Rufus Hound as Gary Savage and Samuel West as Hugh Delavois.

Two actors, stuck in a trailer on the side of a volcano, in Iceland. The glacier is melting, the volcano is active. Bitter rivalries emerge between fussy ‘bit part’ actor Hugh Delavois and fading Hollywood bad boy Gary Savage, going back to their time at college together, as the film they are meant to be working on collapses around them and the trailer they are in begins to slip. An avalanche wipes out the only escape road and the only bridge to safety subsides into the ravine.

Stuck with them is 21-year-old Leela, the runner on the film, and supposed seismology expert. As their arguments and point-scoring become increasingly fractious, it is down to Leela to contain their petty squabbles and prepare them for the possibility that they may not get out of this alive.
