Harry Potter Star to Appear in ‘Breed’: A Play About Dog Mistreatment
Published on September 8, 2010 by Ryan O'Meara · 1 CommentIn the shadow of Battersea Dogs Home and at a time where abandoned dogs and disposable cats make headline news, the Olivier Award-winning team at Theatre503 is proud to present BREED – a topical story about a very animal breed of human cruelty.
The Play
“From the night you were born, puppy, I knew I’d do anything for you.”
Liv is in trouble – her mum’s planning a dog fight, her dad’s getting out of jail, her brother's getting too close to her baby, the police are sniffing around and the pack is closing in. A sharp and savage story of the animals we are and the people we try to be.
John Michie (Taggart) and rising star Jessie Cave (Harry Potter) lead an outstanding cast in a play with bite from Olivier Award-winning Theatre503.
The Cast
Jessie Cave is best known for her performance as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films, and recently played Thomasina in Arcadia at the Duke of York’s Theatre. John Michie is much-loved for the lead role of DI Robbie Ross in Taggart, which he has enjoyed for twelve years. Deirdre O’Kane is a celebrity on the Irish stand-up comedy circuit, and theatre credits include lead roles with the Gate Theatre, Dublin and Druid. Paul Stocker starred as Troilus in Troilus and Cressida at the Globe. Other recent credits include Six Degrees of Separation at the Old Vic. Tom Reed’s theatre credits include S-27 (Finborough), East is East (Birmingham Rep) and The History Boys (West Yorkshire Playhouse/Bath Theatre Royal).

My hubby and I would love to see this but we are unable to travel to London (hubby is wheelchair bound). Is there any chance of the play travelling to the Southend area so that we could see it or will it be available for sale as a DVD at a later date.
Many thanks
