Completing the company are Russell Anthony (Call the Midwife) and Louise Templeton (Jayson Bend: Queen and Country).

In her five-star review for WhatsOnStage, Daisy Bowie Sell said the production was “heady, superb and intoxicating”. The show enjoyed critically acclaimed runs at the National Theatre and Wyndham’s Theatre (where it extended its run), followed by a major UK tour.

The piece will feature on-stage seating as part of Bunny Christie’s design, while the creative team also includes costume designer Christina Cunningham, lighting designer James Farncombe, composer Matthew Herbert, sound designer Tom Gibbons, video designer Andrzej Goulding, movement director Polly Bennett, casting director Jessica Ronane with original casting by Wendy Spon.
