Mercury Theatre and Wiltshire Creative have announced full casting for the world première production of Mischief’s Good Luck, Studio, which opens in Colchester from 30 September.

Directed by Henry Lewis, the cast includes Adam Byron (The Play That Goes Wrong, UK tour/West End) as Anthony, Bryony Corrigan (Magic Goes Wrong, West End) as Saoirse, Eboni Dixon (Secret Cinema’s Bridgerton) as Pam, Jemma Geanaus (Gangsta Granny, UK tour) as Elizabeth, Harry Kershaw (What’s New Pussycat, Birmingham Rep) as Sean, Chris Leask (The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, West End) as Toby, Greg Tannahill (The Play That Goes Wrong, UK tour/West End/Broadway) as Kevin, Gareth Tempest (Classic!, Hope Mill Theatre) as David Cooper-Brown, Sophia Lorenti (Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves, UK tour) as Michaela and Tom Walker (The Quiet House, Park Theatre) as Andy.

It’s the final night of recording Wibble the Dragon. The show is massively over budget and under written. With one hour left to film, 16 pages to go, and an audience of screaming children getting more and more impatient, the cast and crew know big cuddly heads are going to roll.  

The last thing anyone needs is a failed actor showing up with a sinister vendetta and his own dragon costume. In this kid’s TV show, more than just careers will die.

The production is designed by Sara Perks, with lighting by David Howe, sound by Alexandra Faye Braithwaite, composition by Richard Baker, and casting by Jenkins McShane Casting.

Following its run in Colchester, this dark new comedy will transfer to Salisbury Playhouse and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford.
