Jan Ravens Changes Faces at RET, Manchester

Date: 5 April 2011

Actress and comedian Jan Ravens is set to make a good impression at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre when she takes to the stage with her solo show Changing Faces on Tuesday 26 April.

Star of BBC’s satirical show Dead Ringers, she has established herself as one of TV’s best known impressionists. In this  new show, she chats about impersonating royalty, celebrities and public figures - and unveils some of her trade secrets. She will also be introducing some new faces as well as revisiting some of her best loved characters.

As an actress, she was last seen at the Royal Exchange in The Children's Hour which is currently in the West End and features Keira Knightley.

This one night appearance will see Jan take time out from starring in the Exchange’s world premiere of Brad Fraser’s play 5@50 – a darkly comic look at five women turning 50 – which runs at the RET from Wednesday 13 April to Saturday 14 May.
