JOSEPH MARCELL


HOW THE BUTLER OF BEL-AIR CAME TO TOWN…


107


Stage, film and TV star Joseph Marcell is heading the cast of Seán Aydon’s new production of The School For Scandal, which will play at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham this month as part of a major UK tour this spring.


Marcell, who is probably best-known for his role as Geoffrey the Butler in the six seasons of the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, will play ‘Sir Peter Teazle’ in this fresh take on Richard B. Sheridan’s classic comedy of manners.


Joseph Marcell was most recently seen in Chiwetel Ejiofor’s debut feature film, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind. TV credits include Mammoth and I Hate You, both for the BBC and he is soon be seen in Candice Carty-William’s Queenie on Channel 4. His prolific stage credits 7include Hamlet at the Young Vic with Cush Jumbo, Kathy Burke’s Lady Windermere’s Fan, extensive work with Shakespeare’s Globe including the titular role in Bill Buckhurst’s King Lear and Derek Walcott’s Omeros, as well as seasons at the Royal Shakespeare Company.


In School For Scandal, Sir Peter Teazle believes his young wife is sleeping with someone else. She isn’t. But she’s starting to think if her husband believes it, she may as well give it a go. After all, if you’re going to cause a scandal, you might as well enjoy it… Deliciously naughty and outrageously silly, this timeless comedy is a masterclass in social satire and the art of gossip. The School For Scandal is one of the greatest comedies ever written, featuring an unforgettable cast of larger-than-life characters, each armed with a lacerating wit.


And we have been fortunate to get to speak with Marcel ahead of the tour… LIVE24-SEVEN.COM
