@Pensant and @CuriousByNature - who would you cast as Sheridan and Tarquin? 🤔

I’m thinking someone like a young Graham Norton for Sheridan, and someone like Joe Lycett for Tarquin?

Perhaps Ben Whishaw as Sheridan, and Ncuti Gatwa (from Sex Education) as Tarquin?

Both good choices! I guess I was thinking how they were written, how I perceived them in my head more. 

Tarquin was supposed to be the monied toff, which is why Hyacinth loved their friendship, so I thought Joe would be a good fit.

As far as Sheridan goes, in my mind he is camp as Christmas, the type *everyone* knows is, except for his darling mummy who just knows the right girl is out there for her darling boy! 😂 So someone campy in the style of Graham, Matt Lucas, or Alan Carr comes to my mind.

Matt Lucas would be hilarious.
