After graduating from Drama Centre London, Rolan Bell has gone on to wow audiences on stage in shows such as We Will Rock You and The Lion King, and earned an Olivier award nomination for Memphis. On stage, Rolan has also been seen on Eastenders, Pandora and Pretty Red Dress. Now, after a short break from the stage, he has returned to the West End joining the company of the hit comedy: The Play That Goes Wrong. In this interview, we hear him talk about the joy of working with Mischief Comedy as well as with the rest of the new cast. This is also the first time Rolan Bell has performed in the West End since becoming a dad and we also hear him talking about the challenges of balancing life as a parent as well as an actor. With The Play That Goes Wrong now in its tenth year on the West End, it's truly fantastic to hear Rolan be so enthusiastic about the show's ongoing sucesss.

In this new interview, Rolan Bell also reflects on his character Robert having trained classically himself at Drama Centre London. He talks about the cliches that his character fulfils and why that is so funny to audiences as well as to himself. As he continues his run in The Play That Goes Wrong, he seems very content with how his life is and tells us about the joy he gets from being with his child whilst also getting to perform on a West End stage.

The Play That Goes Wrong is now booking till April 2024 with tickets available now!
