Theatre Royal Stratford East today announces the cast for Maryland, Lucy Kirkwood's new play written in response to the murders of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa, originally performed at the Royal Court in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs in October 2021.
Brought to you by emerging theatre company, Skin and Blister, the show depicts best friends Jade and Sophie's friendship...through a farewell tour to their friendship. They both know it has to end soon, so instead of letting this get them down, they decide to hire a venue and take an audience through a highlights (and lowlights) reel of the past 10 years.
Full casting and creative team is announced today for Heart of Hammersmith, the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre's first large-scale community play celebrating true stories of West London with a cast of over 40 local people, aged from 11–88 years, running in the Main House from Thursday 12 to Saturday 14 August.
Heart of Hammersmith will take over the main house this August, bringing together a cast of over 40 West Londoners, including 17 young members, aged 18-25, made up of first time actors, a secondary school teacher, drag artist, call centre worker, students, new graduates and community volunteers.
