Treats
Garrick Theatre, London 28 February to 26 May 2007
In Christopher Hampton's sharply observed, darkly funny drama of interchanging
relationships, Ann (Billie Piper) replaces her egotistical
boyfriend Dave (Kris Marshall) with the more 'conventional' Patrick (Laurence
Fox), only to find she can't make up her mind as to what (or who) she really
wants...
Billie Piper, much loved for her role as Rose Tyler in Doctor Who, makes
her West End debut in Treats. Billie first shot to fame at the age of fifteen
as a teenage pop star before turning to acting. Since making the transition,
she has won numerous awards (including, for two consecutive years, the National
Television Award for Most Popular Actress), starred alongside some of the
biggest names in television, and won tremendous critical acclaim for her
performances in the BBC’s The Canterbury Tales, and more recently,
Ruby in the Smoke. Billie is shortly to be seen starring in the hugely anticipated
new TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park.
Joining Billie are TV favourites Kris Marshall and Laurence Fox: Kris is
well known for playing bumbling son Nick in six hit series of the BBC drama
My Family. Kris also starred alongside Amanda Donohoe in Murder City and
appeared in The Merchant Of Venice with Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons. Laurence
is perhaps best known to TV audiences as Kevin Whatley’s sidekick in
Lewis. He has just finished filming Shekar Kapur's Golden Age with Cate Blanchett
and starred in the feature film The Hole opposite Keira Knightley and in
Robert Altman’s Gosford Park.
