Kieran Bew, Siân Brooke, Tom Burke, and Billie Piper will star in The Almeida Theatre’s production of Neil LaBute’s Reasons to Be Pretty, to run November 10-January 14. Michael Attenborough will direct the production.

The play centers on what happens after a man is overheard admitting that his girlfriend is no beauty, but even so, he wouldn’t change her for the world.

Bew’s theater credits include The Knot of the Heart, The House of Special Purpose, and Richard II. Brooke is currently appearing in My City at the Almeida and has also been seen in such productions as Ecstacy in the West End and Wanderlust at the National Theatre.


Burke’s recent stage credits include Macbeth and Design for Living. Piper is perhaps best known for her work on TV’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Doctor Who, and appeared in Treats in the West End.
