Casualty star Tony Marshall joins Jitney cast at Leeds Playhouse
Tony Marshall who played Noel in Casualty joins a strong cast in a new production of American classic Jitney at Leeds Playhouse.
Written by August Wilson, this poetic work is now seen as one of the great American contemporary classics filled with conflict, love, jealousy and deceit.
It is set in 1970s Pittsburgh exploring the volatile bond between eight unlicensed cab drivers as they live, love, fight and work in racially segregated, post-war America.
The co-production with Headlong will be directed by Tinuke Craig who worked on The Color Purple, at Leicester Curve.
