Little Britain star, Matt Lucas, is taking a break from stage after the sad news of his ex-husband’s suicide. Lucas was starring in the west end show Prick Up Your Ears, playing a suicidal writer. Lucas married Kevin McGee in 2006 but divorced in 2008. The producers of Prick Up Your Ears said in a statement:
“Our thoughts are with Matt whom we are in constant touch with. Until further notice his role of Kenneth Halliwell in the West End production of Prick Up Your Ears will be played by his understudy Michael Chadwick.”
Prick Up Your Ears retells the story playwright Joe Orton and his lover, Kenneth Halliwell, and their often tempestuous relationship.
