‘Emily in Paris’ Star Lily Collins, ‘Money Heist’ Actor Alvaro Morte Set West End Debuts With ‘Barcelona’
Naman Ramachandran In a notable convergence of screen talent and stage production, Lily Collins (“Emily in Paris”) and Álvaro Morte (“Money Heist”) are set to make their London West End debuts with Bess Wohl’s “Barcelona.” “Barcelona” is billed as a two-hander play that unfolds during a late night in the titular Spanish city.
The narrative follows an American tourist who goes home with a handsome Spaniard, with what begins as a casual encounter evolving into a more complex situation where personal and political elements intertwine.
The production, helmed by director Lynette Linton, is scheduled for a limited 12-week engagement at the Duke of York’s Theatre, running from Oct.
21, 2024, to Jan. 11, 2025. Collins said: “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.
