We’re excited to announce the full cast for The Da Vinci Code, which will run at Salisbury Playhouse from 10 April - 3 May, before heading to Mercury Theatre Colchester (7 - 24 May).

Directed by Chelsea Walker, this gripping stage adaptation of Dan Brown’s best-selling thriller is brought to life by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel, the same duo behind The Girl on the Train. Starring Joe Bannister as Robert Langdon and Georgia-Mae Myers as Sophie Neveu, the cast also includes Sherry Baines (Sister Sandrine), Philip Bretherton (Teabing), Richard Clews (Jacques Saunière), Joshua Griffin (Remy/Philip/The Clerk), Louise Mai Newberry (Collet/Vernet/Volunteer), Anthony Ofoegbu (Bezu Fache) and Joe Pitts (Silas).

We’re delighted to welcome back to Salisbury Playhouse Sherry Baines, who most recently appeared in One Last Push, as well as Philip Bretherton (How the Other Half Loves, Before the Party) and Richard Clews (Waiting for Godot, Journey’s End).

Join us for a pulse-pounding journey across Europe, where ancient secrets, coded messages, and relentless rivals collide in a race to protect a secret that could change history forever.
