The hit play Land of Our Fathers will be retuning to London, it has been announced. Chris Urch's debut play originally ran at Theatre 503 in 2013, then transferred to Trafalgar Studios.

The production will be brought back to London this year, following a UK tour, opening at the new Charing Cross venue FOUND111, where The Dazzle recently played.

Opening on 8 March and running to 19 March, the run offers more people a chance to catch Urch's play, which follows Welsh coal miners trapped underground. Directed by Theatre 503 boss Paul Robinson, the play is set in 1979 as Thatcher is coming to power.

Co-producer Tara Finney said: "Two and a half years [after it opened], the production has had a West End run, visited 15 venues around the UK and we’re delighted to conclude its wonderful journey by bringing the production back to London one final time."

Urch won the Bruntwood award for his second play The Rolling Stone, which is currently running at the Orange Tree Theatre.

Land of Our Fathers runs at Found 111 from 8 to 19 March.
