Tom Conti is to star in Reginald Rose’s play Twelve Angry Men when it tours to Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre.

The spring season at the Belgrade also includes Paul Nicholas leading the cast in a new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None from 16 until 21 February.

Completing the cast are Colin Buchanan, Susan Penhaligon, Mark Curry, Verity Rushworth, Frazer Hines and Ben Nealon.

Ian Reddington and Christopher Villiers will be joined by Wendi Peters, best known for her role as Cilla Battersby in Coronation Street, in Joan Littlewood’s Oh! What A Lovely War from 30 March until 4 April.

Marcus Collins will join fellow X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Belgrade from 21 until 25 April.
