An all-star production of The Ladykillers is coming to London, with a script written by IT Crowd and Father Ted writer Graham Linehan.
The impressive cast boasts a bunch of "that guy from that thing" actors who you might not know by name, but you'll definitely recognise.
Peter Capaldi from The Thick of It stars, James Fleet from The Vicar of Dibley, Ben Miller, one half of The Armstrong and Miller Show, award-winning stand-up comedian Stephen Wight are supporting cast.
Olivier Award winner Clive Rowe and Marcia Warren round out the cast; Warren's not so much with that TV stuff, but she's won a bunch of awards for stage plays, so that's reassuring.
The Ladykillers is an Ealing comedy classic from the '50s, regarding an unlikely heist plot, set up by eccentric Professor Marcus and his trio of pugnacious scallywags.
They take up residence in the King's Cross domicile of weird old lady Mrs. Wilberforce, and start putting in motion a plan to hijack a security van. And it all goes completely and epically bloody wrong.
