Rob Madge to star in BUYER & CELLAR at King’s Head Theatre

Award-winning actor and writer Rob Madge will star in Jonathan Tolins’ Buyer & Cellar at London’s King’s Head Theatre for five weeks only from 18 September–19 October.

Ten years after the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway production starring Michael Urie closed, this outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs returns to the capital followed by a week at The Drum, Theatre Royal Plymouth from 29 October – 3 November.

Directed by Kirk Jameson, this hilarious one person show tells the story of Alex (Madge), an out-of-work actor who finds himself working beneath Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home in her legendary basement shopping mall.

Rob said: “I am so thrilled to be taking on Buyer and Cellar. Some might think it quite the stretch for me to be playing a role that isn’t myself for once but I cannot wait to get stuck in. Still quite camp though, so all in all, a perfect fit. This is a sublime piece of work - laughing out loud as I read the script on the tube kind of stuff - and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to be following the footsteps of Michael Urie in bringing these characters back to life. I hope to see you there!”

The production will feature scenography by Ingrid Hu, lighting by Jack Weir, and composition and sound by Emily Rose Simons.
