Joseph Millson has starred in Macbeth at Shakespeare's Globe, and his other credits include Rocket to the Moon (National Theatre) and Love Never Dies (West End).

They are joined by by Micah Balfour, Sophie Bleasdale, Joshua Elliott, Jenny Galloway, Ian Kelly, Forbes Masson and Colin Stinton.

Mr Foote's Other Leg runs at Hampstead Theatre from 14 September to 17 October 2015.
