The concept of inside and outside has been questioned by everyone over the last year. For many, being outside represents freedom, space and air. For others, it represents uncertainty and a sense of not belonging.

Following the success of Inside, streamed last month and watched by audiences around the world, Orange Tree Theatre today announces the full cast and titles for Outside – the second instalment of Inside/Outside.

It adds to the expansive feel of Lyndsey Turner's production, particularly effective in the play's still audacious opening.
