FOLLOWING its world premiere in May, Nigel Slater’s Toast comes to Salisbury Playhouse next month.

Fresh from the West End run, Giles Cooper will continue to star as Nigel Slater.

Mr Cooper is joined by Katy Federman as Mum and Blair Plant as Dad. Samantha Hopkins plays Joan and Stefan Edwards completes the cast as Josh.

From making the perfect sherry trifle, waging war over cakes through to the playground politics of restaurant dining, this is a tale of love, loss and toast.

Nigel Slater said: “It’s an extremely exciting time as the words on the page will come to life once again for audiences around the country.

“I’m thrilled that the play will continue its journey.”

Writer Henry Filloux-Bennett continued: “Having written ‘Toast’ whilst working at The Lowry, that the production is coming back to the North of England after its run at The Other Palace is exciting enough.

“I’m completely delighted that we get to open the tour of ‘Toast’, as it will our 25th Anniversary season.”

Based on the British Book Awards Biography of the Year, Toast is a new play based on Nigel Slater’s award-winning autobiography.

Vividly recreating suburban England in the 1960s, Nigel’s childhood is told through the tastes and smells he grew up with and the audience with be enveloped by the evocative sights and sounds of cookery that defined the moments of his youth.

Mr Filloux-Bennett was the recent recipient of the award for Best Screen to Stage adaptation at the CAMEO Awards at White City House.

Tickets for the play on from November 4-9 are on sale now and can be booked by calling ticket sales on 01722 320333.
