The comedy stars Nicholas Burns (Nathan Barley, Benidorm, Man Stroke Woman) as Colin, with Laura Haddock (Downton Abbey: A New Era, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Inbetweeners Movie) as Myrna Dalgleish, and Alex Price (Father Brown, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) as Brian.

Written by Edinburgh Fringe First winner Dave Florez (Somewhere Beneath, Sins in the Family), and directed by Adam Meggido (Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong),

Joining Adam Meggido in the creative team is designer Sara Perks, lighting designer David Howe, sound designer Amanda Priestley, and casting director Abby Galvin.

In the play, Colin (Nicholas Burns) opens an unexpected mystery package, a cake box from his favourite patisserie, to find that what’s inside is very much not a cake. With Colin battling all-new levels of existential angst it isn’t long before he is trawling through his entire life – turning everything over – convinced that he can channel Poirot and unmask the offending sender. But as his sister Lisa (Laura Haddock) and her husband Brian (Alex Price) desperately scramble to save him from heading down this particularly murky rabbit-hole Colin’s appetite for vigilante justice shows no signs of abating – and his list of possible suspects has gotten way out of control.

The Gift is running at the Park Theatre from 22 January to 1 March 2025.
