Images have been released offering a first look at James Graham's Quiz, which transfers to the West End following its world premiere at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester last year.
Gavin Spokes plays Charles Ingram, also known as 'the coughing Major' when he hit headlines for cheating on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?.
He is joined by Stephanie Street as wife Diana Ingram and Keir Charles as host Chris Tarrant.
The Ingrams were convicted of "procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception" in 2003, two years after Charles won £1,000,000 on the programme.
In her five-star review of the show for WhatsOnStage, Sarah Crompton praised Graham's 'cracking play', adding 'Graham cleverly harnesses this obsession [with the TV show] in the shape and setting of his play.'
Directed by CFT's artistic director Daniel Evans, Quiz has design by Robert Jones, with lighting by Tim Lutkin, music and sound by Ben and Max Ringham, video by Tim Reid and movement by Naomi Said.
It is another West End transfer for Graham, following recent productions of his plays Ink, This House and Labour of Love – for which he just won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
Quiz runs at the Noel Coward Theatre from 10 April to 16 June with previews from now.
