‘Barcelona’ Nears Premiere, Starring Lily Collins and Álvaro Morata
Barcelona, the play starring Lily Collins and Álvaro Morata, is nearing its premiere. In two weeks, London’s Duke of York’s Theatre will host the production, marking Lily Collins’ first stage performance. Both Lily Collins and Álvaro Morata appeared on BBC’s The One Show, where Collins shared that performing at the Duke of York’s Theatre has been a dream come true for her.
On the other hand, Álvaro Morata spoke about a pre-La Casa de Papel experience with his wife. He mentioned that he hadn’t traveled to London before, but once they visited together, they started going every year for the theater. One day, while at the Duke of York’s Theatre, his wife asked if he could ever imagine performing in London. Many years later, it has become a reality with Barcelona being staged at the same theater.
What Barcelona is about?
Late one night in Barcelona, an American tourist accompanies a charming Spaniard back to his place. What starts as a casual one-night stand swiftly escalates into something far more dangerous, as personal and political tensions collide with disastrous consequences. Barcelona is a seductive thriller, both humorous and provocative, that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. It delves into the illusions we create about ourselves and the stark reality of who we truly are.
