Final casting has been announced for the 20th anniversary production of Tracy Letts' Bug.

Joining the previously announced James Norton (War and Peace, Happy Valley) and Kate Fleetwood (London Road, Medea) are: Alec Newman (The Motherf**ker with the Hat), Daisy Lewis (Downton Abbey) and Robert Goodale (Dr Faustus, Shakespeare’s Globe).

Simon Evans returns to FOUND111 to direct Letts' award-winning dark comedy set in a seedy motel room in Oklahoma City. The play, which premiered 20 years ago at the Gate Theatre in Notting Hill, deals with issues of love, paranoia and conspiracy theories.

With design by Ben Stones, lighting from Richard Howell, composition and sound design from Edward Lewis and produced by Emily Dobbs productions, Bug will play a six week season from 24 March – 7 May.
