Photo Flash: First Look at Tom Burke and Hayley Atwell in ROSMERSHOLM at Duke of York's Theatre

Sonia Friedman Productions have today released a new show image for Rosmersholm which begins previews at the Duke of York's Theatre on 24th April. The photograph was shot underwater! Check it out below!

Tom Burke (Strike, The Musketeers) will play the soulful John Rosmer haunted by history and tradition. Hayley Atwell(Howards End, Captain America) will be Rebecca West, an enigmatic and unpredictable, free-spirited heroine. Giles Terera(Hamilton, West End) will be Andreas Kroll, a powerful moral voice, who struggles to reconcile his friendship to Rosmer amidst the changing political tides.

Henrik Ibsen's classic examination of a country in state of political flux has been adapted by Duncan MacMillan and is directed by Ian Rickson. The cast also includes Lucy Briers (Wolf Hall, West End/Broadway) as Mrs Helseth, Jake Fairbrother (Lady from the Sea, Donmar Warehouse) as Peter Mortensgaard and Peter Wight (The Birthday Party, West End) as Ulrik Brendel.

An election looming. A country on the brink. A rabid press baying for blood. At the centre of the storm is Rosmersholm, the grand house of an influential dynasty. This is where the future will be decided by John Rosmer - a man torn between the idealised hope of the future and the ghosts of his past.

Rosmersholm will play at the Duke of York's Theatre from April 24th, with an opening night of May 2nd. The run will end on July 20th.
