Zach Braff (of Scrubs, The Last Kiss and Garden State fame) is to make his UK acting debut in his own playwriting debut All New People.
In the dead of winter, at his wealthy friends’ luxury Long Beach Island apartment, Charlie (Braff) has hit rock bottom on his 35th birthday. Away from the rest of the world, this perfect escape is interrupted by a motley parade of misfits who show up and change his plans. A hired beauty, a fireman, and an eccentric British real estate agent desperately trying to stay in the country all suddenly find themselves tangled together in a beach house where the mood is anything but sunny, while Charlie just wishes they’d leave and let him get on with it.
The play has been running off-Broadway and has had rave reviews and will visit Manchester and Glasgow before coming into the West End at the Duke of York Theatre next February where it will follow Backbeat.
