Emily in Paris's Lily Collins will be starring in the West End production of Barcelona.
The actor will be co-starring in playwright Bess Wohl's two-hander play, which is running for 12 weeks only at the Duke of York’s Theatre this autumn.
Collins plays an American tourist in Spain who goes home with a charming local (The Wheel of Time's Álvaro Morte) for what's supposed to be a romantic night.
However, the pair are soon drawn into personal and political intrigue as both unearth secrets about one another that change the very nature of their meeting.
