Rupert Everett to star in A VOYAGE AROUND MY FATHER at Theatre Royal Bath and UK tour

It has been announced that BAFTA and Golden Globe nominee Rupert Everett will star in John Mortimer’s celebrated autobiographical play A Voyage Around My Father, which plays at Theatre Royal Bath from 28 September-7 October, before embarking on a UK tour.

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.

The world class artistic team for A Voyage Around My Father will include former Director of the National Theatre, the multi-award-winning film, television, opera and theatre director Richard Eyre, alongside Olivier and Tony Award-winning creatives Bob Crowley (Designer) and Hugh Vanstone (Lighting Designer).

Further casting, creative team and touring venues are to be announced.
