Almeida Theatre announces full casting for OTHERLAND
Full casting has been announced for the world premiere of Chris Bush’s new play Otherland, which runs at the Almeida Theatre from 12 February-15 March.
Joining the previously announced Jade Anouka (Cock, West End), Jackie Clune (Just For One Day, Old Vic), Fizz Sinclair (The Simple Life & Death, Pleasance) and Amanda Wilkin (Dr Semmelweis, West End) will be Danielle Fiamanya (Mandela, Young Vic), Laura Hanna (Bindweed, Arcola Theatre/Mercury Theatre Colchester), Beth Hinton-Lever (Hadestown, West End), and Serena Manteghi (English, RSC/Kiln Theatre).
Break-ups aren’t just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities. What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
From Chris Bush, the playwright behind the Olivier Award-winning Standing at the Sky’s Edge, and director and choreographer Ann Yee, Otherland explores what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change.
The production features set design by Fly Davis, costumes by Milla Clarke, lighting by Anna Watson, sound by Pete Malkin, composition and music supervision by Jennifer Whyte, and casting by Amy Ball CDG.
