She topped off her look with a pair of heeled leather boots and pulled her hair back into a high ponytail.
Marisha was booted out the Big Brother house last week in a shock double-eviction just days before the live final.
Performing in the play, Andrew brings to life multiple characters in adapter and co-creators Simon Stephens’ radical new version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
Comedic and tragic, Anton’s examination of people’s shared humanity – hopes, dreams, regrets – is thrust into sharp focus in the production.
This play explores the ‘kaleidoscope of human emotions, harnessing the power of the intimate bond between actor and audience to delve deeper into the human psyche’.
It comes after Andrew said being an openly gay man in the modern age is a ‘wonderful gift’ that has helped him establish firm friendships within the queer community.
He told Attitude: ‘I think it’s such a wonderful thing to me. It’s an extraordinary gift to my life and just to be able to see the real beauty in being gay is completely wonderful.
‘The older I get, just the more I feel so lucky to have been born gay and that pervades my life in the sense of all my friendships.’

He added: ‘I have so many amazing queer friends in my life now that I just adore.’
‘I feel such a huge sense of camaraderie with other queer people now, and without sounding too hippy about it.
‘I feel like I just want to spread that love and positivity in our community because we’ve come such a long way and it’s important that we are kind and look out for each other, and celebrate how uniquely different and how f**king wonderful that can be.’
Meanwhile, Andrew and Paul Mescal dmitted they weren’t too keen on their family members watching their new film All Of Us Strangers.
The movie stars Andrew as a screenwriter who enters into a relationship with a mysterious neighbour, played by Paul, 27.

It features several intimate scenes between the actors which the pair discussed during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
Asked if their families had seen the flick, Paul said: ‘With the Irish premiere, trying to allocate tickets to all the aunties and uncles is a tricky business.
‘They have seen my bum before but there is a little more going on in this movie I would say!’
Andrew added: ‘I don’t want to be there when my parents watch it!’
