Glen, who starred opposite Nicole Kidman in the Donmar Warehouse’s production of The Blue Room that subsequently transferred to Broadway’s Cort Theatre in 1998 (where he received a Drama League Award for Best Actor), was seen last year in Chichester Festival Theatre's production of Terrence Rattigan's Separate Tables.

He received a BAFTA nomination for "Death of a Salesman."

Treadaway, who plays Mrs. Alving's son Oswald, made his London stage debut in the premiere of Mark Ravenhill's Over There at the Royal Court's Jerwood Theatre Downstairs in 2009, opposite his twin brother Luke.
