FATHER and son will appear together on stage for the new adaptation of the award-winning book Dear Lupin, Letters to a Wayward Son.

Two-time BAFTA winning actor James Fox plays Roger while Charlie is performed by James's son Jack Fox.

The best-selling Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by renowned journalist and author Roger Mortimer shares his affectionate letters to his unruly son Charlie.

The stage adaption by writer and journalist Michael Simkins vividly brings to life the correspondence and reveals fresh, previously unknown stories of Charlie’s life and his relationship with his father.

The production will appear at Malvern Theatres from Monday, May 11 until Saturday, May 16 as part of a six week tour prior to a West End run.

Jack aid on working with his father, “It’s brilliant to see Dad return to the stage, and for me, not just as his son, but as an actor it’s a huge privilege to learn from him.

"People assume as an actor you start as a fully finished article, but that couldn’t be further from the truth – it’s an honour to work with him.

"I hope the rapport we share in life will translate to the stage.”
