Forget Me Not | full cast announced

Fri 06 Nov 2015 | Our Plays

Eleanor Bron returns to the stage.

We are delighted to announce that playing the role of Mary in our Christmas UK premiere production of Forget Me Not by Tom Holloway will be the legendary Eleanor Bron.

Eleanor Bron first came to the attention of the general public aged 27, in 1965, at the very height of Beatlemania, when she was chosen to star with the Fab Four in a little old film called Help! Her name inspired Paul McCartney when he composed Eleanor Rigby.

Joining Eleanor on stage will be Russell Floyd (best known to television viewers as Michael Rose in EastEnders and as D.C. Ken Drummond in The Bill) as Gerry, Sarah Ridgeway (recently seen in A Taste of Honey, Salisbury Playhouse and Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare’s Globe) as Sally and Sargon Yelda (who you might remember from last year’s Incognito by Nick Payne) as Mark.

Forget Me Not by Tom Holloway runs from 8 Dec – 16 Jan, and is a Bush Theatre and HighTide Festival Theatre production.
