Full Cast Set For London Premiere of Chloë Moss' RUN SISTER RUN

Casting has been announced for the London premiere of Run Sister Run by award-winning playwright Chloë Moss. Marlie Haco directs Jo Herbert (Connie), Kelly Gough (Ursula), Theo Fraser Steele (Adrian), and Charlie Beaven (Jack). The London premiere opens at the Arcola Theatre on 7 July, with previews from 2 July, and runs until 26 July.

 

A sharp yet tender exploration of sisterhood, Run Sister Run follows the entwined lives of Connie and Ursula over four decades as their relationship is tested in profound and unexpected ways.

Award-winning playwright Chloë Moss explores the destructive and redemptive power of family bonds in this gripping story of resilience and survival.

 

Spanning four decades, Run Sister Run follows sisters Connie and Ursula, tracing the forces that bind them together and threaten to tear them apart.

 

This is “ingeniously structured new writing” (The Stage) that interrogates the tension between nature and nurture, exposing the complex contours of sibling love.

 

With wit and compassion, the play draws the past into the present, revealing the lasting impact of the choices that shape us. Directed by Marlie Haco, this new production fuses Moss' searing dialogue with movement and original music, bringing to life a relationship marked by pain and a deep, enduring affection.
