In February Dani Harmer- TRACY BEAKER herself- played the leading role in ‘Twelfth Night’ in the city centre for three weeks.

Now Matt Lapinskas - Anthony Moon from Eastenders - is scheduled to appear in the city in April, whilst Russell Grant arrives for a month in June!

What is attracting these top TV performers to Exeter?

All are starring in new productions for Exeter Rep - the city’s new professional theatre!

Matt Lapinskas, an audience favourite in Eastenders and runner-up in Dancing on Ice, stars in the world premiere of ‘Frankenstein’.  He will play the tortured scientist in this 200th Anniversary staging of Mary Shelley’s Gothic classic.

Meanwhile, the hugely versatile Russell Grant will bring Lady Bracknell to life in ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’!  Both shows take place at the Barnfield Theatre, right in the city centre!

Director Ian Berry explains, “People always say that people in Exeter are crying out for well-known shows with big TV names in the town centre: well that’s what Exeter Rep is offering.  Come and have a great time!”

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE AT www.barnfieldtheatre.org.uk
