The reading is staged over two decades since Debris premiered at Theatre503, introducing Dennis Kelly as one of one of the UK’s most distinctive contemporary voices. Ben Whishaw and Aimee Lou Wood, two of the UKs most celebrated actors, will play the roles of Michael and Michelle.
The evening will include a Q&A with the cast and special guests on the importance of new writing for theatre and the power of debut plays.
