Stephen Mangan stars in Rules for Living at National

Sam Holcroft's play Rules for Living, which premieres in the NT Dorfman next year, will star Deborah Findlay, Stephen Mangan, Miles Jupp and Maggie Service.

Directed by Marianne Elliott, the play centres on a traditional family Christmas and the way it tests the coping strategies of the gathered members.

Stephen Mangan returns to the stage having recently appeared in the Olivier Award-winning Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense, while Miles Jupp is currently appearing in Neville's Island.

Deborah Findlay's long association with the National includes Timon of Athens and The House of Bernarda Alba, and Maggie Service has appeared at the venue in Table, Collaborators and Earthquakes in London.

Sam Holcroft's Edgar and Annabel ran at the NT as part of the 2011 Double Feature season in the Paintframe.

Rules for Living runs from 13 March 2015. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (26 November 2014). For more info click here.
