OPINION - The Evening Standard Theatre Podcast: Daniel Rigby on Accidental Death of an Anarchist in the West End

We’re joined by the star of the hit BBC TV series’ Eric and Ernie, award-winning comedian and actor, Daniel Rigby. He tells us about his new role in Accidental Death of an Anarchist, a play by Dario Fo and Franca Rame. He shares what it was like stepping away from comedy and how it felt to beat the likes of Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch for a BAFTA.

Our review of Groundhog Day is in and let’s just say, it’s worth seeing again, and again, and again. To hear our interview with Tim Minchin and Danny Rubin click here.

We discuss Romeo and Juliet at the Almeida in Islington, which stars Ted Lasso’s Toheeb Jimoh as Romeo, Metal Lord’s Isis Hainsworth as Juliet, and is directed by Rebecca Frecknall.

Plus in our weekly theatre news, Rufus Norris steps down from the National Theatre, and we pay tribute to Oscar- winning actress and politician, Glenda Jackson, following the news of her death at the age of 87.
