Lily Collins' West End Debut in Barcelona

Lily Collins, widely recognized for her role in the hit Netflix series Emily in Paris, is set to make her highly anticipated West End debut later this year in the play Barcelona. This new production, written by American playwright Bess Wohl, will be staged at London's Duke of York’s Theatre. In a departure from her well-known Parisian adventures, Collins will star alongside Spanish actor Álvaro Morte in a two-person play that delves into the complexities of a chance encounter between an American tourist and a local man in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

While Collins has charmed audiences on screen, her stage abilities remain largely unexplored, adding an air of excitement and curiosity around her performance. Barcelona promises to offer a darker, more intense narrative than the lighthearted escapades of Emily in Paris, with the story set to explore deeper themes and higher stakes. Directed by the accomplished Lynette Linton, known for her successful work at the Bush Theatre, the play is poised to be a significant theatrical event. Linton’s involvement hints at a production of substance and quality, making Barcelona a must-see for both theatre enthusiasts and fans of Collins alike.
