David Neilson to star in theatre play with Chris Gascoyne

David Neilson, who plays Roy Cropper in Coronation Street, is starring in a stage play early in 2016. 

I wonder if this will herald a short break for David from Corrie while he is working in the play... surely it must?

David will be starring on stage alongside Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter Barlow.  The pair are starring in Endgame, Beckett’s absurd and macabre play.

I would love to see this play in either venue, the talent of these two men, working together for a live audience will be a joy to watch.

The play will run from 4 Feb 2016 to 20 Feb 2016 in Glasgow and then from Thu 25 Feb 2016 – Sat 12 Mar 2016 in Manchester.

Thu 25 Feb 2016 – Sat 12 Mar 2016

Thu 25 Feb 2016 – Sat 12 Mar 2016
