Winner of BBC’s Any Dream Will Do, Lee Mead takes to the New Theatre stage for his comedy debut in the murderously funny Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime. This Oscar Wilde classic with an all-star cast visits Cardiff from Tuesday 13 – Saturday 17 April.Lee was crowned the people’s Joseph in 2007 and performed the iconic role in the West End for 72 sold out weeks. Now, the multi-talented performer comes to Wales, in the title role of Lord Arthur Savile. Joining Lee is a star filled cast led by entertainer Gary Wilmot (Chicago, Copacabana, Me and My Girl), Kate O’Mara (Dynasty, Howard’s Way, Bad Girls), David Ross (Goodnight Sweetheart), Derren Nesbitt (Where Eagles Dare) and Louisa Clein (Judge John Deed). In this hilarious story by Oscar Wilde, Lord Arthur Savile is deliriously happy. A pillar of Victorian society he is the verge of marriage to Sybil Merton, when a brief departure from late Nineteenth century convention leads him to an encounter with a chilling clairvoyant called Podgers. Podgers reveals that at some point in Arthur’s life he is destined to commit murder. To protect his future wife, Arthur decides he must commit this terrible dead before he marries. As he searches for the most convenient person to sacrifice, chaos ensues in this highly entertaining classic tale of upper class morality. Trevor Baxter’s acclaimed stage adaptation of Wilde’s Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is produced by Bill Kenwright, who also produced the hugely popular revivals of Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance, The Importance of Being Earnest and the legendary Peter Hall production of An Ideal Husband.
