ABOUT

LILY COLLINS (Emily in Paris) & ÁLVARO MORTE (Money Heist) made their sensational, critically-acclaimed West End debuts in BESS WOHL's explosive two-hander, BARCELONA, directed by LYNETTE LINTON. The smash-hit play enjoyed 12 weeks of completely sold-out performances at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre from 21 October 2024 until 11 January 2025.

2009. Late night in Barcelona. An American tourist goes home with a handsome Spaniard. What begins as a carefree, one-night stand becomes a high-stakes clash of intention and desire, as the personal and political intertwine.

By turns funny, sexy and surprising, BARCELONA kept audiences guessing - exploring the fantasy of who we pretend to be, versus the truth of who we are.

With star turns from LILY COLLINS (Emily in Paris, To The Bone, Mank) and ÁLVARO MORTE (Money Heist, Wheel of Time, Immaculate), LYNETTE LINTON directed the West End premiere of BESS WOHL’s explosive play - which ran for 12 weeks only at London's Duke of York's Theatre from 21 October 2024 until 11 January 2025.

“I am hugely excited to make my stage debut in Bess’ exciting play, Barcelona. The role of Irene is multi-faceted, and audiences will be taken on a thrilling and tense journey as the play unravels with twists and turns and ends up somewhere unexpected. When I read the script it kept me guessing until the final pages and I’m so excited to share this story on stage with audiences later this year.”
LILY COLLINS

“I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of this captivating new play, marking my West End debut. The London theatre scene is a vibrant and exhilarating canvas for fresh, groundbreaking work. I’m looking forward to bringing 'Barcelona' to life and sharing it with audiences.”
