Initial casting revealed for stage adaptation of THE DA VINCI CODE

Initial casting has been announced for the highly anticipated stage adaptation of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, which opens at the Churchill Theatre Bromley from 10-15 Jan 2022 before embarking on a UK tour.

Adapted for stage by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, and directed by Luke Sheppard, Nigel Harman will star as Robert Langdon, alongside Hannah Rose Caton as Sophie Neveu and Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf) as Sir Leigh Teabing.

This cast will play the roles in Bromley, Nottingham, Sheffield, Bath, Plymouth, Clwyd, Coventry, Hull, Wolverhampton, Brighton, Cheltenham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle.

The curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered, and alongside his body are a series of baffling codes. Follow the pulse-racing journey as Professor Robert Langdon and fellow cryptologist Sophie Neveu attempt to solve the riddles, leading to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and beyond, deep into the vault of history. In a breathless race through the streets of Europe, Langdon and Neveu must decipher the labyrinthine code before a shocking historical secret is lost forever.

Dan Brown said: “I am thrilled that The Da Vinci Code is being adapted for the stage, and excited to see the unique potential of live theatre enhance this story. The team making the production has been faithful to the book, but will also bring something new for the audience, in what is certain to be a gripping, fast-paced stage thriller and a thoroughly entertaining show.”
