Inter Alia with Rosamund Pike at the National Theatre – first look at rehearsals

Rehearsal photos have been released for the world premiere of Inter Alia at the National Theatre.

The new play will be led by Oscar and BAFTA nominee Rosamund Pike making her National Theatre debut this summer. The piece reunites writer Suzie Miller and director Justin Martin following their success with the WhatsOnStage Award-winning Prima Facie. 

Pike is joined by Jamie Glover (Waterloo Road) and Jasper Talbot (Redlands) in the Lyttleton Theatre from 10 July to 13 September. A press night is set for 23 July. Alongside them will be understudies Louisa Clein (Emmerdale), Luke Garner-Greene (The Road Trip) and Thomas Michaelson (The Father).

Inter Alia is described as “a searing examination of modern masculinity and motherhood.” It follows Jessica Parks, a smart maverick at the top of her career as an eminent London Crown Court Judge. When an event threatens to throw her life completely off balance, she tries to keep her family upright. 

Also on the creative team are set and costume designer Miriam Buether, lighting designer Natasha Chivers, movement and intimacy director Lucy Hind, sound designers Ben and Max Ringham, video designer Willie Williams for Treatment Studio, composers Erin LeCount and James Jacob, casting directors Alastair Coomer and Naomi Downham and voice coach William Conacher.

The show will also be broadcast live on 4 September into UK cinemas.
