Carrie Cracknell directs a top cast that includes Adeel Akhtar, Amari Bacchus, Monica Dolan, Paul Hilton, Lyndsey Marshal, Rochelle Rose and Susie Trayling."

The play will star Russell Tovey (pictured above) as a police officer with a troubled past who takes a shocking 999 call. Expect a Barrett production to be full to the brim with techy trickery. Den Skyldige"
