Simon Lipkin joins cast of BRIAN & ROGER – A HIGHLY OFFENSIVE PLAY at Menier Chocolate Factory

The Menier Chocolate Factory have announced that Simon Lipkin will join Dan Skinner in the world premiere of Brian & Roger – A Highly Offensive Play, inspired by Skinner and Harry Peacock’s hit podcast Brian & Roger.

Directed by the venue’s Artistic Director David Babani, the production previews from 22 October in the Menier’s new smaller studio space The Mixing Room, and runs until 18 December. Lipkin replaces Peacock who has withdrawn from the production on medical advice.

Harry Peacock said: “I’m enormously grateful to Simon for stepping in at such short notice to enable the run of Brian & Roger to go ahead as planned at the Menier. Stepping back from the show was an incredibly difficult decision, but ultimately the right one for my health and the production, and I can’t wait to enjoy the show from the comfort of the auditorium. There may however be action if he’s better than me…”

Simon Lipkin added: “Can you please go away. I’m trying to learn my lines.”
