The production is currently running at the Vaudeville Theatre in London through February 23. Directed by Matthew Dunster, it features Harington as Austin and Flynn as Lee. Dunster will direct the audio version, which will also feature music composed by Flynn and Joe Zeitlin for the stage production.
