Oscar-winning Ghost the Musical will tour the UK
Ghost the Musical will make a return to the stage this summer, embarking on a UK tour for the first time since 2019.
The critically acclaimed comic play, Nice Fish, will transfer to the Harold Pinter Theatre this November.
Nice Fish is based on the poetry of Minnesotan contemporary poet Louis Jenkins, and will show at Harold Pinter Theatre from 15th November until 21st January 2017.
The production – directed by Mark’s wife, Claire van Kampen – tells the story of an odd couple whose ordinary lives are turned upside down during a comedic ice fishing expedition.
The comedy will see Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies, The BFG) return to the West End in the role of Ron.
The full New York cast, consisting of Jim Litchtscheidl (A Serious Man, Best Man Down), Kayli Carter, Bob Davis and Raye Birk, will transfer to London for the limited season.
