**Iwan Rheon** is best-known for playing villainous psychopath Ramsay Bolton in HBO’s *Game of Thrones,* for which he scored nominations for two IGN Awards for Best TV Villain. The Welsh actor, who is very prolific in television, has also performed in a number of plays. His previous stage credits include Al in *Eight Miles High* at the **[Royal Court Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/67/royal-court-theatre.aspx)** (2008), Moritz Stiefel in *Spring Awakening* at the **[Novello Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/76/novello-theatre.aspx)** (2009), Huw Prosser in *The Devil Inside Him* at the National Theatre Wales (2010), and Lyosha in *Remembrance Day* at the **[Royal Court Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/67/royal-court-theatre.aspx)** (2011). In 2010, Rheon won an **Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical** for his role in *Spring Awakening.*
*Foxfinder* will mark Rheon’s highly anticipated return to the stage where he will play William Bloor, a foxfinder who has been dispatched to investigate an infestation on a farm. The farm, which is family-run, has yielded a very low harvest and the government wants answers as to why. In the end, it’s Bloor who is faced with more questions than the government in a surprise turn of events.
The play originally premiered at the Finborough Theatre back in 2011 and was directed by **Blanche McIntyre.** That same year saw **playwright Dawn King** win a **Papatango New Writing Prize** for the play. The West End production will be directed by **Irish director Rachel O’Riordan,** who is known for directing *Killology,* a Royal Court and Sherman Theatre co-production. Earlier this year, *Killology* won an **Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre.**
*Foxfinder* officially opens at the [Ambassadors Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/58/ambassadors-theatre.aspx) on **13 September 2018** and will run **until 5 January 2019.** You won’t want to miss the revival of this dark and thrilling play featuring Game of Thrones’ Iwan Rheon in the starring role!
