Cast Announced For Carly Churchill's Wickedly Funny OWNERS At Jermyn Street Theatre
Fifty years after it was first staged, the new production of Owners will be directed by the theatre's Artistic Director Stella Powell-Jones.
Today, Jermyn Street Theatre announces the casting of its timely revival of Caryl Churchill's wickedly funny first play about power, property, and possession.
Fifty years after it was first staged, the new production of Owners will be directed by the theatre's Artistic Director Stella Powell-Jones. The cast comprises Laura Doddington (Yours Unfathfully – Jermyn Street Theatre, They Don't Pay? We Won't Pay! – Mercury Theatre Colchester), as Marion, Ryan Donaldson (Tartuffe – Abbey Theatre, King Lear – Shakespeare's Globe) as Alec, Mark Huckett (The Marriage of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein – Jermyn Street Theatre, Quiz – Noel Coward Theatre) as Clegg, Pearl Marsland (Lie of the Mind - Battersea Arts Centre, Hedda Gabbler - Theatre Royal Bath/UK Tour) as Alec's mother, Tom Morley (The Funeral Director – Pappatango / ETT, A Room With A View – Theatre Royal Bath) as Worsley, Boadicea Ricketts (Biscuits For Breakfast – Hampstead Theatre, Tonight at 8.30 – Jermyn Street Theatre) as Lisa and Laura Woodhouse (Chiara -Apollo Theatre) as Mrs Arlington.
Her husband wants her dead, but Marion's too busy to notice. With the London housing market booming, she spots a chance to make a killing of her own by flipping a house. There's just one problem – the current tenants are her closest friends. Undeterred, she hatches a plan and makes them an offer they can't refuse. A deal is done, and an exchange is made. But is the price worth paying?
Jermyn Street Artistic Director and director of Owners, Stella Powell-Jones says:
“It's wonderful to be in rehearsal with this wonderful company. It's always exhilarating to be around Caryl Churchill's words, to live in the worlds she conjures. But this wickedly funny interrogation of a society in thrall to the property ladder could hardly feel more relevant. I'm so excited to share Owners with audiences - it's long overdue!”
