Belgrade Theatre announces casting for Graeae co-production KERBS

The Belgrade Theatre have announced casting for their world premiere run of Kerbs, co-produced with the UK’s leading disabled led theatre company, Graeae, running from 26 February-5 March.

Kerbs is the debut play from Wolverhampton-based disabled playwright Michael Southan and will feature Maya Coates – in her professional stage debut – as Lucy, Jack Hunter (Teenage Dick, Donmar Warehouse) as David and Rekha John-Cheriyan (Hollyoaks) as Carol and Toni.

Lucy and David are dating. Or at least, they’re trying to. Faced with first-date disasters, a few crossed wires and Lucy’s mum, what they really need is a bit of space, a bit of fun - and ideally some independence.

Escaping for the weekend to a caravan park in Somerset, it’s time for them to find out if their spark will finally catch, or burn everything to the ground.

The production is directed by Co-Artistic Director & CEO of DaDa Fest Nickie Miles-Wildin, with design by Amanda Mascarenhas, lighting and video by Josh Pharo, sound by Charlotte Barber and movement direction by Angela Gasparetto.

Playwright Michael Southan said: “I'm delighted that Kerbs has found a home with Graeae at the Belgrade Theatre and thrilled that a love story with disabled people at its heart will be seen on stages across the country.”
