Barcelona Play Tickets: An Explosive New Thriller

Lily Collins and Álvaro Morte make their explosive West End debuts in Bess Wohl’s latest play Barcelona at the Duke of York’s Theatre. Set over one night as an American tourist heads home with a Spanish man, this funny, tense and surprising show will keep audiences guessing as a shifting balance of power and identity unfolds.

What is Barcelona the play about?

Late at night in Barcelona, an American tourist meets a Spaniard. They talk, and share drinks, then decide to head home together. But what starts as a carefree flirtation takes a darker turn, as danger beckons and the personal and political collide.

Bess Wohl’s latest play is a sexy, surprising thriller that sees two strangers come together… but what are they hiding, and how far will pretence and fantasy get them?

Lily Collins in Barcelona

Golden Globe nominee Lily Collins makes her West End debut in Barcelona. She is best known as aspiring fashion marketer Emily Cooper in Netflix hit Emily in Paris, and has earned acclaim for her work in Mirror, Mirror, The Mortal Instruments and Love, Rosie.

Collins stars opposite Álvaro Morte, a Spanish actor who has earned international recognition in Money Heist and The Wheel of Time.

As the stars of a two-hander, these London stage newcomers will bounce off each other in an intense volley of dramatic suspense and humour as their characters’ one-night stand transforms into something unexpected.
