Production images have been released forThe Score at Theatre Royal Bath, starring Brian Cox.

Brian Cox (Succession, Long Day’s Journey Into Night) plays Johann Sebastian Bach in the play, joined by his real-life wife Nicole Ansari-Cox (Deadwood, Succession), as Bach’s wife Anna, alongside Matthew Burns (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) as Carl, Doña Croll (The Doctor, The American Plan) as Emilia, Peter de Jersey (Warrior Nun, Doctor Who) as Voltaire, Stephen Hagan (You, The Larkins) as Frederick, Christopher Staines (Wolf Hall, Mrs Dalloway) as Quantz, Benedict Salter as Benda and Eric Sirakian (The Kite Runner, Broadway) as Graun.

The Score, which is written by Oliver Cotton (Diamond Geezer) and directed by Trevor Nunn (Les Misérables), is set in Potsdam, Prussia in 1747. Johann Sebastian Bach reluctantly visits the court of Frederick II, Europe’s most ambitious and dangerous leader, and the explosive events of the following days could not have been predicted by either man.
