Director Rachel O’Riordan is joined by set and Costume Designer Gary McCann, lighting designer Sally Ferguson, sound designer Donato Wharton, intimacy director Bethan Clark, casting director Alastair Coomer CDG, dialect coach Patricia Logue, associate sound designer Nick Mann and staff director Philip J Morris.
