The full cast has been announced for Patriots, Peter Morgan’s (The Crown) new play, ahead of its West End transfer.

The piece, which has just won the Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Play 2023, is set in the immediate aftermath of the USSR’s collapse. It was the fastest-selling new play at the Almeida when it first ran last year, and now transfers to the Noël Coward Theatre for a 12-week season from 26 May.

Joining the previously announced BAFTA-winning actor Tom Hollander (White Lotus, The Night Manager) as Boris Berezovsky, Will Keen (His Dark Materials) as Vladimir Putin and Luke Thallon (Albion) as Roman Abramovich are Matt Concannon (Assistant/Daniel Kahneman/Russian Captain), Ronald Guttman (Professor Perelman), Sean Kingsley (Voloshin /Nurse), Paul Kynman (Korzhakov/Yeltsin/FSB Boss/Reporter/Bodyguard) and Jessica Temple (Anna Berezovsky/Newscaster/Journalist/Secretary/Pianist) all reprising their roles from the Almeida Theatre run.

New cast members are Josef Davies (Alexander Litvinenko), Ashley Gerlach (Lawyer/Home Office), Howard Gossington (Teacher/Compromised Newscaster), Stefanie Martini (Marina Litvinenko/Nina Berezovsky) and Evelyn Miller (Tatiana/Katya/Judge/Lover). They are joined by understudies Peter Eastland, Lydia Fraser and Matt McClure.

Directed by the Almeida’s Artistic Director, Rupert Goold (Ink, Enron), Patriots’ creative team includes set designer Miriam Buether, co-costume designers Deborah Andrews and Buether, lighting designer Jack Knowles, sound designer and composer Adam Cork, casting director Robert Sterne CDG, movement director Polly Bennett and associate director Sophie Drake.
