Charlie Brooks and Simon Lipkin to star in All in a Row at Southwark Playhouse

Casting has been announced for Alex Oates' (Silk Road) new play All in a Row, which opens at Southwark Playhouse in February.

Directed by Dominic Shaw (Silk Road), the show stars Charlie Brooks (EastEnders) as Tamora, Simon Lipkin (Nativity! The Musical) as Martin, puppeteer Hugh Purves (Vivaldi's Four Seasons) as Laurence and Michael Fox (A Lie of the Mind) as Gary.

The kitchen sink comedy drama is about a couple whose child is autistic, non-verbal, low-functioning and occasionally violent, and is inspired by Oates' decade-long experience working as a carer.

It has design by PJ McEvoy, puppetry design and direction by Siân Kidd and lighting by Rachel Sampley.

All in a Row runs from 14 February to 9 March.
