Number Two

How do you cope with being the “second choice” after the casting for a film that will go down in cinematic history? Adapted from David Foenkinos’s novel, the play brilliantly explores the psychological effects of failure. In 1999, casting began to find the boy who would play Harry Potter and, in the process, become world-famous. Hundreds of boys were auditioned. In the end, only two remained. This play tells the story of the one who wasn’t chosen. The adaptation of David Foenkinos’s novel is at once modern, offbeat, and entertaining. Sophie Accard’s direction is fast-paced, the plot is wonderfully crafted, and, just like the novel, the play captivates the audience. A deeply moving and universal human adventure set against a beautiful backdrop. “Number Two” is profoundly human, rooted in a reality so close to our own that simply coming to see it brings us closer to it.
