David Tennant Amongst Actors Celebrating Oxford Playhouse's Anniversary Tonight


David Tennant is amongst a host of actors who will be taking part in the Oxford Playhouse's 80th anniversary celebrations this evening.

He will join other stars including Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jeremy Irons and SinĂ©ad Cusack, on stage at the theatre for a one night only revue covering the last 80 years and the story of the venue itself – from its pre-Second World War origins to the present day.

Playhouse chief executive and director Louise Chantal said: “Under the able direction of film producer Victor Glynn, the evening will include iconic comedy scenes, more than enough music and a few too many ‘reinterpretations’ of the most famous productions to have graced the playhouse stage.”

Director Victor Glynn said "The Playhouse has hosted some extraordinary events over its 80-year history and I feel sure this is going to rank among the most memorable.”

An after-party, hosted by the Macdonald Randolph hotel, will take place following the two hour gala with all proceeds from the black tie occasion going to the Playhouse Trust.
