Full casting has been announced for John Mortimer’s celebrated autobiographical play A Voyage Round My Father, which will open at Theatre Royal Bath from 28 September, before touring to Richmond, Cambridge, Cardiff, Malvern, Chichester, and Nottingham.

Joining the previously announced BAFTA and Golden Globe nominee Rupert Everett on stage will be Jack Bardoe, Eleanor David, Allegra Marland, Julian Wadham, Heather Bleasdale, Zena Carswell, John Dougall, Calum Finlay, and Richard Hodder, with Leoni Kibbey and Rob Pomfret.

Growing up in the shadow of a brilliant and eccentric barrister, a man whose tea-time conversation could take in music hall, adultery, evolution, the ridiculous inconvenience of sex, Shakespeare, and the importance of avoiding anything heroic in wartime, the son continually yearns for his father’s love and respect.

In shining a light on this delicate relationship between a young man and his father who adored his garden and hated visitors, and whose blindness was never mentioned, A Voyage Round My Father introduces us to a gallery of unforgettable and often hilarious characters.
