Darren is starring alongside Philip Joel (Closer to Heaven) are Amy Bailey (The Producers), Zoe Birkett (The Bodyguard), Nuwan Hugh-Perera (Side Show), David Muscat (Billy Elliot), Oliver Savile (Wicked), Tosh Wanogho-Maud (Dreamgirls), Kerry Ellis (Oliver) and Louise Dearman (Wicked).

The Fosse Forest Ballet, a unique theatrical sitcom, was inspired by Philip Joel’s hilarious and satirical sketches on social media during lockdown.

At a time when many are starved of theatrical entertainment, David Muscat of Emerge Production House saw an opportunity to develop a concept with the aim of delivering ‘a little bit of theatre, into the comfort of people’s homes’.

The result is an endearingly comical insight into the journey of putting together London’s latest pantomime - The Fosse Forest Ballet.
