Rachel Tucker, recently seen in Sting's The Last Ship on Broadway, will appear alongside Imogen Stubbs in the Menier Chocolate Factory's upcoming revival of Alan Ayckbourn's Communicating Doors, WhatsOnStage can reveal.

Running from 7 May to 27 June, the production will be directed by Lindsay Posner, whose recent West End credits include Speed-the-Plow and Noises Off.

Tucker, whose other credits include Wicked, and Stubbs, recently seen in the Almeida's Little Revolution, will be joined in the cast by: David Bamber (Betty Blue Eyes), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Shakespeare in Love) and Matthew Cottle (A Small Family Business).
