Matthew Kelly and Geraldine James to Headline London Revival of Victory

Olivier Award winner Matthew Kelly and stage and screen star Geraldine James will headline a revival of Howard Barker’s 1983 play Victory: Choices in Reaction, which will run at the Arcola Theatre, March 3-April 4. The production will be directed by Amelia Nicholson, and co-star Karl Theobald, Evie Dawnay, Leander Deeny, Tom Godwin, Chris Porter, and Nicholas Rowe.

The play is set in 1660 when Britain’s brief experiment with republicanism ends and the monarchy is restored. Barker’s other plays include A Hard Heart, Scenes from an Execution, and That Good Between Us.

Kelly’s stage credits include Of Mice and Men, Endgame, Twelfth Night, and Amadeus. James has starred on stage The Cherry Orchard, Lysistrata, The Merchant of Venice, Hedda Gabler and Faith Healer, and is well known for her role in TV’s The Jewel in the Crown.
