With just 7 weeks to go until the first SWEET FRIDAY at the Donmar, the company has released the official artwork for SWEET CHARITY. Renowned photographer Nick Knight and SHOWstudio have created this shot of Anne-Marie Duff as Charity Hope Valentine in support of YOUNG+FREE and SWEET FRIDAYS at the Donmar.

SWEET FRIDAYS will see every ticket at performances from 26 April given, for free, to a young person aged 25 or under. We are asking our audiences to join in and PAY IT FORWARD too, by making a donation to support YOUNG+FREE at donmarwarehouse.com.
The Donmar Warehouse presents Artistic Director Josie Rourke's farewell production, Sweet Charity. Joining Anne-Marie Duff as Charity and Arthur Darvill as Oscar will be Lizzy Connolly, Lauren Drew, Jo Eaton-Kent, Will Haswell, Charlotte Jaconelli, Stephen Kennedy, Debbie Kurup, Martin Marquez, Ryan Reid, Amy Ellen Richardson, Danielle Steers and Shaq Taylor.
Sweet Charity will be choreographed by the world-renowned Wayne McGregor, who reunites with Josie after working on her debut film Mary Queen of Scots. Josie returns to the music of Cy Coleman who wrote the score for her Olivier Award-winning production of City of Angels. The book is by Neil Simon and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
New York, 1967. Charity Hope Valentine is a dance hall hostess who "runs her a heart like a hotel". At the hopeless end of a long line of users and losers, she meets Oscar, a mild-mannered tax accountant, and Charity Hope Valentine once again puts her faith in love.
