Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story’s Corey Mylchreest are leading an all-star cast in a new audiobook adaptation of a short story by Rivals creator Dame Jilly Cooper.
A Pressing Engagement, part of a short story collection first released in 1981, takes listeners back to 1978 London where a young secretary named Hester finds herself stuck in a dead end relationship and boring job.
So when she’s offered the chance to assist a film producer, Hester sees this as her ticket out of her boring life – but she struggles to break the news to her boss.
Instead, she decides to announce her engagement to childhood friend Nico... who has absolutely no idea of her plot.
Joining Waddingham and Mylcreest in the cast (per Deadline) are Heartstopper’s Rhea Norwood, who will star as Hester, as well as The IT Crowd’s Richard Ayoade, Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter and Rye Lane’s Vivian Oparah.
The project has been in development for a little over a year – with Cooper overseeing the beginning of production before her death last October at the age of 88.
Her Estate, her agent Felicity Blunt and production company Happy Prince, which made Rivals, have collaborated on bringing the adaptation to life.
It was written by Dare Aiyegbayo, a scriptwriter on both seasons of Rivals, and is directed by Sarah Esdaile.
The series will be available to listeners exclusively on Audible upon release.
