British heartthrob Russell Tovey hasn’t slowed up at all even in Lockdown.  He and Gallerist ROBERT DIAMENT are the hosts of TALK ART at London’s NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY to discuss some of the great LGBTQ art in the NPG.  (check here).

Tovey also just gave such a sublime performance in THE SISTER an intensely suspenseful thriller now streaming on HULU.  In their review, VARIETY went as far as to call Russell Tovey one of TV’s great discoveries of the last several years. (check here)

Plus Tovey is part of a star-studded cast in a new digital production based on Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray beginning March 16.  His costars include Fionn WhiteheadAlfred Enoch,Joanna Lumley,Emma McDonald, and Stephen Fry.  (we’ll be publishing our review this week)

Now Tovey has just announced his return to the West End stage.  He was last seen in the National Theatre 2017 smash hit revival run of Angels in America.  (which is still streaming online). His new role finds Tovey playing opposite another rising openly gay star, Omari Douglas. who just had his breakthrough role in the hit queer series “It’s A Sin”  The pair will appear in a new London revival of Nick Payne’s play Constellations. The stage show explores a relationship in the context of parallel times and universes, imagining all the dynamics it could have had. There is however a twist to this production as four different casts take turns to journey through the multiverse and the infinite possibilities.

Four different casts will take turns each of them refracting the play afresh. The couples are Sheila Atim and Ivanno Jeremiah (18 June – 1 August) Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker (23 June – 24 July), Omari Douglas and Russell Tovey (30 July – 11 September), and Anna Maxwell Martin and Chris O’Dowd (6 August – 12 September).   Tovey abs Douglas are the only same-sex couple.

Constellations is the tale of a quantum physicist and a beekeeper who meet at a barbecue. They hit it off, or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. In the multiverse, with every possible future ahead of them, a love of honey could make all the difference.
