Why See Second Best?
Second Best with Asa Butterfield
Best known for his role as 'Otis' in the hit Netflix show Sex Education, Asa Butterfield will take on this one-man play written by Barney Norris, based on David Foenkinos' novel by the same name. Butterfield will play Martin Hill, who as a child missed out on playing the famous role of Harry Potter. Now, as adult life intensifies with a child on the way, Martin reflects on this crucial moment and the what ifs' it conjures up.
Hilarious and Heartbreaking
Butterfield stated Second Best is "equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking" and is extremely excited to bring Norris and Foenkinos' work to life. The performance will run from 24 January to 22 February, 2025 at Riverside Studios London. Grab your tickets now while they last!
