Tonight sees the press night of the Tony nominated Broadway comedy drama Next Fall at the Southwark Playhouse, starring Charlie Condou. From award-winning Geoffrey Nauffts, with direction from Luke Sheppard whose critically acclaimed production of In The Heights was a sold-out smash hit earlier this year, it is playing at the Southwark Playhouse until Saturday 25 October.

Next Fall portrays the ups and downs of Adam and Luke’s long term relationship and how they make it work – despite their differences. Luke is devoutly religious, while Adam is an atheist. However, following an unexpected accident which changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support…and answers. This timely and compelling new American play goes beyond a typical love story and paints a beautiful and funny portrait of modern romance, questioning commitment, faith and unconditional love.

Charlie Condou (who plays Adam) became a household name playing series regular Marcus Dent in the ITV drama Coronation Street. His theatre credits include: Dying for It (Almedia Theatre), The Changeling (Southwark Playhouse), Shopping & F***ing (No 1 tour), Cracked (Hampstead Theatre), After The Rain (Gate Theatre). On TV he played Renoir in the BBC drama The Impressionists and had guest roles as Nino in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Giles in Dead Babies.

The full cast also includes Nancy Crane, Ben Cura, Martin Delaney, Mitchell Mullen and Sirine Saba.
