Directed by Lynette Linton, Barcelona will run for a strictly limited season at the Duke of York's Theatre from 21 October.

Lily Collins (Emily in Paris) and Álvaro Morte (Money Heist) will swap the big screen for the West End production of Bess Whol's explosive two-hander play.

Barcelona is a seductive thriller that explores the fantasy of who we pretend to be, versus the truth of who we are. The play follows the unexpected and intense encounter between an American woman and a Spanish man when they impulsively decide to spend the night together.
