Actress Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown in the
Harry Potter series) is set to star in the production of
Breed at
Theatre503 in London from 21 September - 16 October 2010. A summary of the play, in which Jessie will play the lead Liv, is as follows:
Quote:
From the night you were born, puppy, I knew I’d do anything for you.”
Liv is in trouble - her mum’s planning a dog fight, her dad’s getting out of jail, her brother's getting too close to her baby, the police are sniffing around and the pack is closing in. A sharp and savage story of the animals we are and the people we try to be.
Tickets for the production can be purchased
