Ian McKellen and Roger Allam are to star in the West End premiere of new comedy, Frank and Percy.

The play received its world premiere at Theatre Royal Windsor, followed by two sold-out weeks at Theatre Royal Bath.

Frank and Percy is a poignant and witty take on the unexpected relationship that blossoms between two men. Devoted to their canine companions, they believe that human connection is far more temperamental, but, as their dogs play in the park, can Frank, a widowed schoolteacher, and Percy, a somewhat radical elder statesman, find the time for new love, or should they just let sleeping dogs lie?

It will run at The Other Palace from 8th September to 3rd December.
