Photos: Inside Rehearsals for THE PSYCHIC at York Theatre Royal
Frances Barber, Eileen Walsh, and cast prepare for the world premiere of Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s new thriller.
York Theatre Royal has released rehearsal photos from THE PSYCHIC, a new play written and directed by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman. The production will begin previews April 29, officially open May 6, and run through May 23.
The rehearsal images offer a first look at the cast in process, including Frances Barber as Rosa and Eileen Walsh as Sheila Gold, alongside Megan Placito, Dave Hearn, Jaz Singh Deol, Nikhita Lesler, and Charlie Blanshard. The photos capture early staging work as the company develops the psychological thriller ahead of its world premiere.
THE PSYCHIC centers on a television psychic whose career is damaged after losing a high-profile court case that exposes her as a fraud. When she is asked to conduct a séance for a wealthy couple, the situation begins to unravel, leading her into increasingly unsettling territory.
The creative team includes co-directors Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, with design by Rae Smith, illusion design by Chris Fisher, lighting design by Zoe Spurr, sound design by Nick Manning, and casting by Arthur Carrington.
Rehearsal images highlight the collaborative process behind the production, offering a glimpse into character work, staging, and the tone of the piece as it moves toward opening night.
THE PSYCHIC will run at York Theatre Royal from April 29 through May 23, with press night on May 6 at 7:30 p.m.
