Artistic Director of The Rep and director of this 20th Anniversary Production Sean Foley has announced that his critically acclaimed production of The Play What I Wrote will be filmed for transmission on the BBC later in 2022.

Tom Hiddleston will reprise his acclaimed appearance as the special guest star in the production at Theatre Royal Bath, the first venue on the show’s recently announced national tour, where performances will be recorded.

'Thom' has written a play, an epic set in the French Revolution called ‘A Tight Squeeze for the Scarlet Pimple’. 'Dennis', on the other hand, wants to continue with their double act. He believes that if they perform a tribute to Morecambe and Wise, Thom’s confidence will be restored and the double act will go on. But first Dennis needs to persuade a guest star to appear in the play what Thom wrote…

With a mystery guest star at every performance, The Play What I Wrote is once again proving a massive hit with audiences and critics alike.

The transmission date will be announced in due course.

The production opens at Theatre Royal Bath this evening and runs until 22 January, with tickets available here.
