Heida Reed, Elizabeth in the hit BBC production of Poldark, will join Iwan Rheon in the West End revival of Foxfinder.

Dawn King's dystopian thriller, set in a world where foxes are seen as enemies of the state, won the Papatango Prize and was first seen at the Finborough Theatre in 2011.

Reid's previous stage work includes Scarlet at the Southwark Playhouse and the 2011 revival of Top Girls at Trafalgar Studios, while on screen she has appeared in Silent Witness and One Day. Rheon is probably best known for his performance as Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones.

Foxfinder is directed by Rachel O'Riordan (who recently oversaw the Olivier Award-winning production of Gary Owen's Killology), with design by Gary McCann and lighting design by Paul Anderson. Simon Slater is composer and sound designer for the production, which opens in September at the Ambassadors Theatre.
