Laura Pitt-Pulford and John Gordon Sinclair to star in The Grönholm Method

Full casting has been announced for the UK premiere of Jordi Galceran's The Grönholm Method, which opens at the Menier Chocolate Factory in May.

Making his UK directorial debut, BT Nicholl will direct Jonathan Cake (Desperate Housewives, A Flea in Her Ear, Old Vic), Greg McHugh (Fresh Meat), Laura Pitt-Pulford (Barnum, Side Show) and John Gordon Sinclair (The Ladykillers, The Producers, West End).

Running from 22 May to 7 July, with previews from 10 May, the 2003 Spanish play is set in the New York office of a Fortune 500 company, where four job interview candidates jostle and play each other for their own ends.

The piece debuted in Barcelona and has since had productions in over 60 countries. It now appears in a translation by Anne García-Romero and Mark St Germain.

The Grönholm Method has set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Howard Harrison and sound design by Gregory Clarke.
