Sex With Strangers at the Hampstead Theatre

Emilia Fox stars in a new play at the Hampstead Theatre

The Hampstead Theatre in north London have announced that Sex With Strangers, a new play by Laura Eason will run at their main venue from 27 January to 4 March 2017 starring Emilia Fox.

Directed by Peter DuBois, this smart comedy is described as a "multifaceted love story packed with hidden ambitions, soaring desires and secret agendas."

"Olivia, an attractive and talented but underappreciated mid-career writer, is unexpectedly trapped overnight in a secluded, snowed-in B&B with Ethan, an equally attractive and wildly successful young blogger. Her latest novel is an unsung masterpiece; his blog is being made into a movie. She prefers books; he prefers eBooks. She is anonymous; he has half a million Twitter followers. But opposites soon attract - passionately - as each realise they want more of what the other has. But the closer they get, the more they must confront the murky side of ambition, success and Wi-Fi..."

Peter DuBois has previously worked with Emilia Fox following sell-out hit Rapture, Blister, Burn in 2014. His other directing credits include All New People (West End) and Becky Shaw (Almeida). Emilia's stage credits include Coriolanus and Richard II (both Almeida Theatre) and Good (Donmar) and her TV appearances include Silent Witness, Merlin and The Queen.

Tickets for the production are now on sale.
