Today, Headlong has announced their 2022 Season - the first under new Artistic Director Holly Race Roughan, who will direct two of the upcoming productions this year. The season will celebrate the breadth of Headlong's work as they present their provocative mix of innovative new writing, reimagined classics and influential 20th Century plays to audiences across the UK.

Vivienne Acheampong, Adelayo Adedayo, Ray Emmet Brown, Ernest Kingsley Jnr, Tamara Lawrance, Rudolphe Mdlongwa, Mark Monero and Cecilia Noble have been cast in the UK premiere of Is God Is written by Aleshea Harris and directed by Royal Court Associate Director Ola Ince.
