According to press materials, "When popular news man Geoffrey Hammond is caught by photographers in a rather compromising position, he leaves it up to his publicist Larry (who knows all his client’s dirtiest secrets) to spin him out of what seems to be an impossible situation. As the media wait, hungry for the statement on the sex scandal of the century, the two struggle with conscience and imagination and the question looms - is all publicity good publicity?"
Harman, who plays publicist Larry, is best known for his role as Dennis Rickman in the TV series "EastEnders," and he has subsequently also starred as Sam in "Hotel Babylon." Other TV credits include "Lark Rise to Candleford" and "The Friday Night Club." Other theatre credits include The Caretaker at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre and London's Tricycle, directed by Jamie Lloyd, Privates on Parade at the Donmar Warehouse and Guys and Dolls in the West End, both directed by Michael Grandage, and The Exonerated at Riverside Studios. Film credits include "Blood Diamond."
Daws, who plays Geoffrey, has been seen on TV as Dr. Gordon Ormerod in "The Royal," Tuppy Glossop in "Jeeves and Wooster" and Roger Dervish in "Outside Edge." His film credits include "Arthurs Dyke." On stage, he has performed in his own one-man show Summoned by Betjeman, about the life and work of Sir Thomas Betjeman.
Webb, who plays Jamie, has appeared in the West End as Posner in Alan Bennett's The History Boys (at Wyndham's Theatre); other stage appearances include playing the title role in Oliver! at the London Palladium at the age of ten, as well as The Long Road (at Soho Theatre), S**T Mix (at Trafalgar Studios), and Lick Creek (at Southwark Playhouse). He appeared as a child dancer alongside Michael Jackson during the 1996 Brit Awards and was knocked off stage and cracked a rib when Jarvis Cocker came on.
Jackson's previous play Minor Irritations premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005, and was subsequently seen at London's White Bear Theatre and at the Dublin International Gay Theatre Festival. He is also currently filming "The Battle of the Boogie," a documentary about his father, for the Channel 4 First Cut series.
Director Hanna Berrigan has been an associate director on The 39 Steps at the West End's Criterion Theatre, and has also assisted on shows at the National, Royal Court and the RSC.
