As previews begin for Timothy Sheader's production of To Kill A Mockingbird this evening, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre has announced full casting for the 2013 season. The cast for Jane Austen's ultimate romantic comedy, Pride and Prejudice will include Jane Asher as Lady Catherine De Bourgh. Directed by Deborah Bruce, the play will run from 20 June - 20 July.

William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, re-imagined for ages six and over will feature Lewis Goody (Florizel), Guy Burgess (Leontes), Dean Nolan (Polixenes), Sirine Saba (Hermoine), Alexandra Maher (Paulina/Camillo) and Kezrena James (Perdita). From 29 June to 20 July, this production will use Shakespeare's original text, and is especially created for younger audiences. Laurence Olivier Award nominees Charlotte Wakefield (Maria Rainer) and Michael Xavier (Captain Von Trapp) will lead the cast of The Sound Of Music. Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, the musical will conclude the 2013 season, playing from 25 July to 7 September.

Regent's Park Open Air Theatre previously announced Robert Sean Leonard in the role of Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird, the first production of the 2013 season which begins previews this evening. The Tony award-winning American actor is best known for playing Dr. James Wilson in the Fox television series House and Neil Perry in the 1989 movie Dead Poets Society. Having frequently performed on and off Broadway since 1986, To Kill a Mockingbird will mark Robert's return to the London stage for the first time in 22 years.
