SINGER Will Young is set to hit the stage in Noel Coward's play The Vortex next month and if you want to see him in action you had better hurry.
Tickets have been selling like hot cakes for weeks and the advice to anyone in search of a good seat is to book now.
Young plays troubled musician Nicky Lancaster, a part originally played by Coward himself, who returns from Paris at the height of the post-war party in England.
The Vortex created a notorious sensation when premiered in 1924 with its brave depiction of the darkness behind the dazzle of the 'bright young things' who danced and partied their days away.
The excellent cast also includes Diana Hardcastle who has previously worked at the Royal Exchange in A Woman Of No Importance and TheDuchess of Malfi. Jo Combes is the director and the design is by Lez Broth-erston.
The Vortex runs from January17untilMarch 10 with half price previews for the first three nights. Tickets for the rest of the run range in price from £8 to £27.50.
