Cast and creatives have been announced for Trompe L’Oeil at The Other Palace in London.
Emer Dineen, Alex Wadham, Craig Bartley, Dominic Booth, Olivia Saunders, Sarah Louise Hughes, William Elijah Lewis and Yasmin Sharp will star in the new production which sees cabaret, queer theatre and politics collide in a tongue-in-cheek musical inspired by famous surrealist pieces of art.
Written by Henry Parkman Biggs, Tromp L’Oeil takes inspiration from a wide range of musical genres and its songs contain cryptic and hidden messages, pushing lyrical structure in ways that, incredibly, make the songs themselves illusionary.
The piece had a successful Off-Broadway run in 2021, a London fringe run in 2022 and a spring presentation at Paris’ famed Fluctuart gallery on the Seine, which featured renditions from artists around the world of the uniquely structured “trompe l’oeil” lyrics, this updated Trompe-l’oeil will now premiere at The Other Palace.
Directed and choreographed by Blair Anderson (Associate Director The SpongeBob Musical), the full creative team includes: Set Designer Justin Williams, Costume Designer Reuben Speed, Lighting Designer Jack Weir, Musical Director Georgia Rawlins, Musical Supervisor/Arranger Mark Crossland, Associate Musical Supervisor Laurence Stannard, Associate Choreographer Thomas Ashton, choreographer Producer Funky Tickle Productions and General Management Carter Dixon McGill.
Trompe L’Oeil will play at The Other Palace Studio from 28 September – 15 October.
