Janie Dee to star in A Role to Die For world premiere

Janie Dee will star in the world premiere of A Role to Die For, a new play by Jordan Waller, at the Barn Theatre in Cirencester.

Directed by Olivier Award winner Derek Bond, the production runs from 30 January to 15 March 2025, with a press night on 4 February.

The play follows Deborah, tasked with casting the lead in Hollywood’s most famous spy franchise. Her chosen actor withdraws the day before the announcement, forcing her to find a replacement as filming looms.

Waller said today: “I am over the moon that Janie Dee will be leading this production: she is truly a star to die for, and I can’t wait to see her shine.”

Bond continued: “I’m thrilled to be working with Janie: in musicals or plays, Janie is simply one of the best actors in the country. I can’t wait to see her get her teeth into this.”

The production will feature design by Cory Shipp, with further casting and creatives to be announced.
