Actor-director Douglas Hodge stars as drag queen Albin in Terry Johnson's acclaimed Menier Chocolate Factory production of Broadway musical comedy La Cage Aux Folles, now transferred to the West End. As an actor, he has appeared in more than ten Harold Pinter plays and his other recent stage credits include Titus Andronicus, Pericles, A Matter of Life and Death, Dumb Show and Guys & Dolls, for which he was Olivier and Whatsonstage.com Award-nominated for playing Nathan Detroit opposite Ewan McGregor's Sky Masterson. His directing credits include The Dumb Waiter, See How They Run and, at the Donmar Warehouse, Absurdia, where he's been appointed an associate director and will revive Athol Fugard's rarely seen 1975 play Dimetos, starring Jonathan Pryce, in the new year.
