The Play What I Wrote's Sean Foley and Hamish McColl will star in Ducktastic, "a new comedy spectacular" that will open at London's Alberry Theatre on October 17th; previews begin on October 11th. The show is directed by renowned actor/director Kenneth Branagh.

"Christophe Ursula Sassoon is in the last chance saloon of his career – all his hopes for a return to Las Vegas ride on Ducktastic!  Roy de la Rue, who is in fact Roy Street, a pet shop owner from Portsmouth, volunteered to help Sassoon out with a trick three weeks ago and has never left. With Sassoon drinking so much, he not only needs a hip flask, but a hip replacement flask, and with Roy barely keeping mind and body together, the magic tricks start to go wrong...But is there real magic the air tonight, and can Daphne the Duck save them all? Come with them on a journey of magic and illusion into the beyond, and beyond that, into the very backside of beyond," lure production notes.
