Sons of the Prophet - 2022 - West End History , Info & More

Joseph Douaihy, a gay American Maronite Christian in rural Pennsylvania, has a pretty complicated life. When his father dies as the result of a prank, life truly spirals towards the bizarre. With unexplained pain blocking his athletics career, a desperate new boss who wants to capitalize on his grief, a dependent uncle who thinks he’s his legal guardian and a very wayward younger brother, Joseph has a lot on his plate. So he really should not be spending time with the attractive journalist who’s looking for the inside scoop on his father’s accident…

Tony Award-winning Stephen Karam makes a highly anticipated return to Hampstead following his multi award-winning, box office smash-hit, The Humans. 'The absolutely wonderful new comedy-drama' (New York Times), Sons of the Prophet makes its European premiere having been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

Bijan Sheibani returns to Hampstead to direct; his recent credits include The Arrival (Bush), Dance Nation (Almeida), Barber Shop Chronicles and A Taste of Honey (National Theatre).

Irfan Shamji plays Joseph. His acting credits include playing Laertes to Tom Hiddleston’s Hamlet, directed by Kenneth Branagh, Chasing Hares (Young Vic), Hamlet and Metamorphoses (Shakespeare’s Globe). His numerous film and tv credits include Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express. He is joined by Jack Holden, who was recently in the West End starring in his critically acclaimed and Olivier award nominated production of Cruise, and playing the lead role of Albert in the National Theatre’s production of War Horse. Juliet Cowan plays Gloria, she recently starred in the BBC comedy Stuck as well as Everything I know About Love, I Hate Suzie and Fresh Meat.

Joining them will be Raphael Akuwudike (First Touch, Nottingham Playhouse; The Jumper Factory, Young Vic); Holly Atkins (The Book of Dust, Bridge Theatre; Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s Globe); Raad Rawi (Measure for Measure, Donmar; and for film and television - A Private War and An Honourable Woman); and Eric Sirakian (The Kite Runner, Broadway; Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s Globe); and Sue Wallace (The March on Russia, Orange Tree Theatre; Allelujah, National Theatre Live).

We are grateful to the Board of Hampstead Theatre for generously supporting this production.

With thanks to Lin and Ken Craig for their gift towards this production.
