Haydn Gwynne Joins Cast of BECKY SHAW

According to a report by Baz Bamigboye for UK Daily Mail, Haydn Gwynne is set to star alongside Daisy Haggard, Anna Madeley, David Wilson Barnes and Vincent Montuel in Gina Gionfriddo's Becky Shaw, which will open on January 14 at The Almeida Theatre.

Gwynne is perhaps best known for originating the role of Mrs. Wilkinson in BILLY ELLIOT on Broadway. Her theatre work has included a variety of regional and London based appearances, from Bolton Octagon in Hedda Gabler, to Richard Cheshire's Way of the World appearing in London's West End productions of Ziegfeld and Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre, for which she was nominated for an Olivier Award. 

 Haydn has been awarded the Outer Critics Circle Award, Theatre World Award, and Drama Desk Award for her performance in Billy Elliot. She was also nominated for a 2009 Tony Award. Gwynne has also performed in numerous productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her television appearances are now more focused on shorter dramas, such as the role of Julius Caesar's wife, Calpurnia, in the TV series Rome. She also appeared in the first Christmas special episode of Midsomer Murders.
