Lorna Luft, Jenny Seagrove, and Simon Shepherd star in a UK tour of Hugh Whitemore’s Pack of Lies which began February 2, and will run through April 11 prior to transferring to the West End.

The play is based on a true story, and concerns the arrival of a stranger who shatters the happy life of the Jacksons as the truth about their much-loved neighbors is revealed to them. The production is designed by Julie Godfrey, with lighting by Mark Howett, and sound by Theo Holloway.

Luft starred on Broadway in Promises, Promises, in the film Grease 2, and national tours such as They’re Playing Our Song, White Christmas, and Guys & Dolls. Seagrove is best known as barrister Jo Mills in BBC’s Judge John Deed. Shepherd is a prolific stage and screen actor, whose credits include the ITV series Peak Practice and such plays as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, ART, Our Man in Havana, Duchess of Malfi and Entertaining Mr. Sloane.
