Cracked by Russell Brand, Lena Dunham and more at the Old Vic

Russell Brand has pulled together a collection of top writers to pen monologues on mental health that will form One Voice: Cracked at the Old Vic this September. The seven writers include Russell Brand, Scarlett Curtis, Lena Dunham, Mr Gee, Gabor Mate, Matthew Perry and Kate Tempest whose stories will be shared live on stage by acclaimed actors (including Brand himself) for one night only. Exploring mental health and addiction, this is the first in the Old Vic’s new One Voice series that celebrates monologues without scenery, sets or costume, just words on stage. Priority booking for Friends opens at noon on Friday 30 August, and tickets go on sale to the general public at 12pm on Monday 2 September. Set a reminder; they’re bound to sell out quick as a flash.
