Kit Harington and Johnny Flynn rehearse for True West: First look pictures

The first images of Kit Harington and Johnny Flynn in rehearsals for True West have been released.

Matthew Dunster will direct the production of Sam Shepard's 1980 play, often hailed as a modern classic. The cast will also include Madeleine Potter and Donald Sage Mackay, with Jon Bausor designing set and costumes.

Harington last appeared on stage in Jamie Lloyd’s 2016 reimagining of Doctor Faustus , whilst Flynn’s last theatre role was in Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen in 2015, also directed by Dunster.

Flynn, who is also an acclaimed singer-songwriter, will compose original music for the show alongside his leading role.

He and Harington play a pair of warring brothers, Austin and Lee, who both pitch ideas for movie scripts to a Hollywood producer.

The production at Vaudeville Theatre will be the first production of playwright Shepard’s work since he died at the age of 73 last summer.

True West runs from November 23 - February 23, 2019
