The Pride: Adam James completes cast

Adam James (Last Chance Harvey) completes the cast for MCC Theater's American premiere production of Alexi Kaye Campbell's The Pride in the multiple roles of 'The Doctor,' 'The Man' and 'Peter,' under the direction of Joe Mantello.

As previously announced, Hugh Dancy (Adam, Journey's End), Andrea Riseborough (Happy Go Lucky) and Ben Whishaw (Bright Star, Brideshead Revisited) will also star in this all new production. Riseborough and Whishaw will be making their New York stage debuts.

The Pride opens at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on 16 Feb 2010, following previews from 27 Jan and runs through to 20 Mar 2010. Tickets go on sale to the general public on 15 Dec 2009.

The Pride: Oliver, Philip and Sylvia are caught in a kind of erotic time warp. Their complex love triangle, replete with conflicting loyalties and passions, jumps from 1958 to the present and back in a maelstrom of fantasy, repression and rebellion.

James theatre credits include 'Gethsemane' at London's National Theatre, 'Now or Later' at London's Royal Court, 'Rabbit' at London's Trafalgar Studios and Off-Broadway's 59E59. Television includes 'Lewis,' 'A Touch of Frost,' 'Dr. Who' (Easter Special), 'Hustle,' 'Jonathan Creek' (Xmas Special). Film includes 'Last Chance Harvey,' 'Mother of Tears,' 'Road to Guantanamo,' 'High Heels and Low Lifes.' The Pride opened in 2008 at London's Royal Court, where it played from 21 Nov - 20 Dec 2008. The production starred Bertie Carvel, JJ Feild, Lyndsey Marshal, Tim Steed and was directed by Jamie Lloyd, and won a 2008 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement In An Affiliate Theatre.
