Charlotte Beaumont and NicK King have been announced as the cast of Fair Play, a gripping exploration of the underside of women’s athletics by Ella Road, which runs at the Bush Theatre from 3 December 2021-22 January 2022.

Fair Play will be directed by Monique Touko, with set and costume design by Naomi Dawson, lighting by Matt Haskins, sound and music by Giles Thomas, and movement by Joseph Toonga.

The clocks are set. The line is drawn. They've got a chance to be champions. But at what cost? 

When Ann joins Sophie's running club she's thrown into a world of regimented training and pure focus. The two girls couldn’t be more different, but soon their shared passion makes them inseparable - dreaming in lanes and lap-times, waking up picturing Olympic medals, each day stronger and faster… 

But set head-to-head in the run-up to the World Championships, they find themselves and their friendship put to the ultimate test. As their relationships, their bodies, and their very identities are pulled into public scrutiny, does being exceptional come at too high a price?
