ROBERT DUNCAN is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the hapless Gus Hedges in Channel 4’s Drop the Dead Donkey, a role he recently revisited in the stage revival Drop the Dead Donkey: The Reawakening! last year. His stage career includes standout performances as Jago in Fisherman’s Friends The Musical (on tour in the UK and Canada), Stanley in the West End production of Caught in the Net, and Juror 12 in Twelve Angry Men at the Garrick Theatre and on tour. On radio, Robert is widely recognised as the voice of Scumspawn in BBC Radio 4’s Old Harry’s Game, for which he received a Sony Radio Award.
SARA CROWE rose to fame as Laura in the classic British film Four Weddings and a Funeral. On stage, she most recently earned an Offie Award nomination for her role in The Way Old Friends Do. Her performance in Hay Fever at the Albery Theatre earned her an Olivier nomination for Best Comedy Performance, while Private Lives at the Aldwych Theatre garnered her an Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress. Sara has also appeared in Sheila’s Island, which was performed at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.
