Announcing the Cast of ‘Do You Want to Know a Secret?’

The Secret is out! Casting for Actors Rep’s March 2016 production of Daniel Pinkerton’s wonderful play Do You Want to Know a Secret? is complete.

Secret revolves around the Berger family in East Berlin between 1988 and 1993. Karin and Walter and their daughter Erika find their lives torn apart by events in era of the Fall of the Wall as two Germanys try to unite.

We are thrilled to welcome Sarah Lamesch back to Luxembourg to play the role of Erika.

Sarah is from Luxembourg and is a graduate of the Waldorf School in Luxembourg and is a former student at the Conservatoire de La Musique de la Ville de Luxembourg.

She is now based in London where she has studied at LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and The Actors Centre. In addition to several productions at LAMDA, she was in the Theatre Collection’s production of Lulu. She can be seen in several short films as well as the video film of Steve Mason’s ‘Fire’ and in the Luxembourg-shot feature House of Boys.

He’s been seen on stage here in Luxembourg in, among many others, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, The Playboy of the Western World, and Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Yeoman of the Guard.
