Matthew Kelly and Julie Legrand join Felicity Kendal in FILUMENA

Matthew Kelly and Julie Legrand will join the previously announced Felicity Kendal in the Bill Kenwright Ltd/Theatre Royal Windsor production of Filumena, which will run at Theatre Royal Windsor from 4-19 October before touring.

Also joining Felicity Kendal as Filumena, Matthew Kelly (Of Mice and Men, West End) as Don Domenico and Julie Legrand (The Cherry Orchard, National Theatre) as Rosalia will be George Banks (The Mousetrap, West End) as Michele, Gavin Fowler (Accolade, Theatre Royal Windsor) as Umberto, Jamie Hogarth (Best of Enemies, West End) as Alfredo, Ben Nealon (Catch Me If You Can, UK tour) as Nocella, Lee Peck (Sleuth, UK tour) as Waiter, Fabrizio Santino (Hollyoaks, C4) as Ricardo, Jodie Steele (Bonnie and Clyde, West End) as Diana, Hilary Tones (Shardlake, Disney+) as Teresina, and Sarah Twomey (The Sandman, Netflix) as Lucia, with Eliza Le Touzel Teale (professional debut) as the understudy.

Filumena, Eduardo de Filippo’s classic comedy (with English version by Keith Waterhouse & Willis Hall), is set in the balmy heat of Naples and questions the family ties that bind us and whether we can ever escape our past. Often cited as the writer’s best work, the show is a sparkling comedy-drama full of entanglement and intrigue. In a battle of wills between all involved, Filumena mixes de Filippo’s charm and optimism with acerbic wit and a moral examination of how where we come from can define who we become.

Filumena is directed by Sean Mathias and designed by Morgan Large, with lighting by Nick Richings.
