The next production to open at the Menier Chocolate Factory will be the UK premiere of Jordi Galceran’s The Grönholm Method.

The 2003 Spanish play is set in the New York office of a Fortune 500 company, where four job interview candidates jostle and play each other for their own ends. The piece debuted in Barcelona and has since had productions in over 60 countries. It now appears in a translation by Anne García-Romero and Mark St Germain

The show is directed by BT Nicholl (making his UK directorial debut) with set and costume design by Tim Hatley, lighting design by Howard Harrison and sound design by Gregory Clarke. Casting for the production is to be announced.

The venue is currently hosting a new production of José Rivera's Kiss of the Spider Woman, directed by Laurie Sansom and starring Declan Bennett and Sam Barnett.

The Grönholm Method runs from 22 May to 7 July with previews from 7 May.
