FAMILYMAN promises to be fast, furious and very funny!

Theatre Royal Stratford East (TRSE) is delighted to announce that popular British actor and former East Enders regular GARY BEADLE will lead the hugely talented cast of the brand new RIKKI BEADLE- BLAIR comedy FAMILYMAN.

Joining GARY when the play opens on 2nd May 2008 at TRSE will be comedic actresses Llewella Gideon (Absolutely Fabulous, The Crouches - BBC) and Jo Martin (Stupid , The Crouches - BBC) with the stellar cast being rounded off by Jo Castleton, Ricci McLeod, Aaron Taylor and Ayesha Antoine (shortly to be seen in the new series of Doctor Who)

Caesar Ramsay works hard for his family. But when his son Nelson delivers some shocking news during a rap battle Caesar's seemingly ordinary life rapidly spins out of his control!

Directed by TRSE's Associate Director DAWN REID (co-director The Harder They Come - Barbican Theatre), FAMILYMAN is a fresh, insightful original script set in East London.

FAMILYMAN runs from the 2nd - 31st May 2008 at the Theatre Royal Stratford East
