Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

Following his acclaimed revivals of Oscar
Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance and
An Ideal Husband, Bill Kenwright presents
Trevor Baxter’s acclaimed adaptation of one
of Wilde’s most celebrated stories. Making
his comedy debut, the multi-talented Lee
Mead stars as Lord Arthur Savile. Following
his success in hit BBC show Any Dream
Will Do, he played the role of Joseph in
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s and Tim Rice’s
Joseph for 72 sold-out weeks in the West
End. Mead performs alongside an all-star
cast led by legendary entertainer Gary
Wilmot, fresh from his recent national tour
of the smash hit Chicago. The glamorous
Kate O’Mara, star of such TV hits as
Dynasty and Howard’s Way plays Lady
Windemere. David Ross, who recently
starred in the BBC hit sitcom The Green
Green Grass plays The Dean, and Derren
Nesbitt, best known for his role as Chief
Inspector Jordan in the TV series Special
Branch will be playing the role of Herr
Frederick Winkelkopf.
Lord Arthur Savile is deliriously happy: a
pillar of society, he is on the verge of
marriage when he encounters a clairvoyant
called Podgers. Podgers reveals that at some
point in Arthur's life, he will commit
murder. To protect his future wife, Arthur
decides he must do the bloody deed before
he marries. As he searches for a convenient
person to sacrifice, chaos ensues in this
entertaining comedy of upper-class morality.
