Friedman Theatre and after it officially opens on 27 September, the show is on the repertoire almost every night until 11 November. This is a new play by Richard Bean, the author of rollicking, award-winning Broadway comedy One Man, Two Guvnors. The Nap represents a very comedic look at the world of snooker.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan is a fast-rising star in this British version of pool. He enters a championship tournament but is very quickly warned about the math fixing. Ex-convict dad, saucy mum, quick-tongued manager and a renowned gangster quickly pool him into their own dealings of match-fixing and the play is more about the characters than the game itself.<\/p>\n<p>The cast is magnificent and will make you laugh so hard until you burst to tears.<\/p>\n<p>The cast of The Nap is made up of Alexandra Billings, best known for Transparent and Goliath, Tony Award nominee John Ellison Conlee, two-time Tony Award nominee Johanna Day, four-time and 2018 United States National Snooker Champion Ahmed Aly Elsayed, Ben Schnetzer, Heather Lind, Max Gordon Moore, Bhavesh Patel and Thomas Jay Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>The creative team for the production includes David Rockwell (scenic design), Kaye Voyce (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), Lindsay Jones (original music and sound design), Anne Ford-Coates (hair and make-up design), Ben Furey (dialect coach), and Thomas Schall (fight director).<\/p>\n<p>Once it was out, The Guardian raved, \u201cIngenious,\u201d The Observer cheered, \u201cOutrageously funny,\u201d and The Daily Mail called The Nap \u201cbrilliant and terrifically inventive.\u201d What more do you need from a play? Enjoy this smart and witted play with eccentric characters and comments.
