Theatre Severn has announced that Tessa Peake-Jones, Ruth Madoc and Paul Nicholas are to join the cast for Deborah Moggach’s celebrated show, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Tessa Peake-Jones  (Only Fools and Horses) will perform as Evelyn, Ruth Madoc (Hi-de-Hi!) will appear as Muriel and Paul Nicholas (Jesus Christ Superstar, EastEnders) plays Douglas when the play comes to Shrewsbury from Tuesday 14 – Saturday 18 March 2023.

Based on the Sunday Times bestseller which inspired one of this century’s most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel takes audiences on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to intertwine and they embrace the vibrancy of modern-day India, they are charmed in unexpected and life-changing ways.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous, feel-good comedy about taking risks, finding love, and embracing second chances, even in the most surprising of places. Further casting to be announced.
