Further casting announced for National Tour of James Graham's smash hit play QUIZ

Further casting has been announced for the national tour of James Graham’s hit play Quiz, which returns to Chichester Festival Theatre before embarking on a 9-week UK tour from 22 September to 2 December.

Joining renowned comedian Rory Bremner, starring as Chris Tarrant, will be Emmerdale star Charley Webb in her first professional stage role as Diana Ingram, Lewis Reeves (Unforgotten) as Charles Ingram, and Mark Benton (Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators) as Judge Rivlin. Completing the cast, playing multiple roles, are Leo Wringer (As You Like It, National Theatre), comedian and actress Sukh Ojla (Bridgerton, Netflix), and Marc Antolin (Little Shop Of Horrors, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).

In a shockingly shameless scam, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was duped out of £1,000,000. Or was it?

Quiz is the thrilling and entertaining ride through the infamous Coughing Major scandal which engulfed the world’s most popular TV quiz show. The story remains a mystery and had over six million people glued to their screens in 2020 watching the ITV adaptation starring Michael Sheen, Matthew Macfadyen and Sian Clifford.

Now, uncovering new evidence, it’s time to ask you, the audience, to put fingers on keypads and answer the ultimate 50/50: guilty or not guilty?

Quiz is directed by Daniel Evans and Seán Linnen with design by Robert Jones, lighting by Ryan Day, composition and sound by Ben and Max Ringham, video by Tim Reid, and casting by Matilda James CDG.

Quiz is a fictional imagination based on real events which took place in 2001 following an episode of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It is not in any way connected with the makers of the programme or any of the individuals portrayed.
