Cast Announced for Brand-New Show - The Syndicate

Based on the smash-hit, critically acclaimed BBC One drama of the same name, The Syndicate, Kay Mellor’s final stage play, visits Newcastle Theatre Royal Tue 7 – Sat 11 May 2024 as part of its premiere UK tour.

Starring Max George (The Wanted), Samantha Giles (Emmerdale) and Brooke Vincent (Coronation Street), The Syndicate tells the story of five supermarket workers whose lottery syndicate numbers come in, just as their jobs and livelihoods are under threat.

Created by legendary writer Kay Mellor, The Syndicate follows in the footsteps of her other hugely successful TV to stage adaptations including Fat Friends The Musical and Band of Gold.

TV and stage star Gaynor Faye, Kay’s daughter, makes her directorial debut, bringing her mother’s final stage adaptation to life in this moving comedy drama. She shared “Having acted in the last series on TV, when she asked me to assist her on directing the show – I jumped at it. Now, it has become my first solo directing role and whilst I am so sad not to be doing it with her, I am also very proud and excited to bring mum’s vision to the fore.”

Will a share of the £18million jackpot make their dreams come true or their nightmares become a reality? One thing’s for certain, the win of a lifetime will change the lives, loves and relationships of the syndicate members forever.

The Syndicate plays Newcastle Theatre Royal Tue 7 – Sat 11 May 2024. Tickets can be purchased at www.theatreroyal.co.uk or from the Theatre Royal Box Office on 0191 232 7010.
