"Álvaro Morte is magnificent" — Sunday Express
Don't miss Lily Collins (Emily in Paris) and Álvaro Morte (Money Heist) making their West End debuts in the seductive thriller, Barcelona. Book Barcelona tickets on TodayTix.
As Lily Collins said in a statement, "It has been a childhood dream of mine to perform in the West End and I'm hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess' exciting play, Barcelona. Working with this team has truly been a gift and I cannot wait for audiences to be taken on a thrilling journey as the play unravels."
Barcelona is a play that tells the story of Irene (Collins), an American on holiday in Barcelona, and Manuel (Morte), a Spaniard. What begins as a one-night stand becomes much more through unexpected moments, danger, and a realization that maybe the two aren't as different as they first seemed.
