Casting has been announced for the UK premiere of The Grift, which opens at the Bethnal Green Town Hall Hotel later this month.

The immersive, site-specific experience places its audience of 50 into a part-theatre, part-game experience that will see them trained in the art of the con, solving clues and pulling off a swindle to take down a criminal mastermind.

Conceived, written and directed by Tom Salamon (Accomplice, Menier Chocolate Factory), the cast will feature Dylan Allcock, Ged Forrest, Rachel Harper, Laura Kirman, Alastair Kirton, Daniel Millar, Kevin Moore and Mark Oosterveen.

The production premiered in California in 2015 and is produced in the UK by Danielle Tarento.

The Grift runs at Bethnal Green Town Hall Hotel from 23 January to 25 March.
