The world premiere of John Goldsmith's debut stage play The Throne will play at the Charing Cross Theatre from 23 June-30 July, it has been announced.

The new comedy is set in 2002, the year of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, as Her Majesty attends the opening of a new science block at Dudley Goring Comprehensive School. Amidst a terrorist threat, she finds herself locked in a portable toilet with Derek Jones, Head of Science, who also happens to be a staunch republican.

Starring in the production will be Mary Roscoe (Ted Lasso) as the Queen and Charlie Condou (Coronation Street) as Derek Jones, alongside Michael Joel Bartelle (Much Ado About Nothing, RSC) as headmaster Peter Carr.

The production is directed by Anthony Biggs, with set and costume design by Gregor Donnelly, lighting by Chuma Emembolu, and sound by Chris Drohan.
