Distinguished actor Andrew Woodall, who played imperial recruitment officer Drawd Munbrin in Solo: A Star Wars Story, has been lined up to portray Paul Dacre in a new play.

The recently reappointed DMG Media editor in chief, and former Daily Mail editor, features in a new play by Tim Walker called Bloody Difficult Women which tells the story of Gina Miller’s clash with Theresa May over Brexit.

Miller brought a successful court case against the British government over its authority to implement Brexit without the approval of Parliament.
