Cast and creative team announced for THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE at Northern Stage

Casting has been announced for Northern Stage’s magical new adaptation of family favourite The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, running from 27 November - 31 December.

Set in the streets of Newcastle but not quite as we know it, audiences will be treated to live music, puppetry, magic and illusion as they follow the adventures of Hatty Rabbit and her friends after a mysterious letter arrives inviting Hatty to an interview for a sorcerer’s apprentice…

Directed by Maria Crocker, the piece has been adapted by Laura Lindow, with design by Amanda Mascarenhas, lighting by Jai Morjaria, sound by Matthew Tuckey, movement by Gavin Coward, original music by Katie Doherty, puppet design by Molly Barrett-Manasseh, puppetry direction by Thomas Walton, and illusion direction and design by Dr Will Houstoun.

Beth Crame will star as Hatty Rabbit, alongside Talia Nyathi, Nick Figgis, Jessica Johnson, Patrick Munday, Heather Dutton and Alice Blundell.

The show will also be filmed by award-winning North East filmmakers Meerkat Films for Northern Stage at Home enabling audiences to watch online.

Writer Laura Lindow said: “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice has made 2021 a really magical year for me already; Christmas is a chance to make dreams come true right in front of us. To tell stories that can really enchant. To create characters who can really live. Adventures that can really play out. It’s an honour and a privilege to play a part in so many peoples’ Christmases and hopefully offer even more festive sparkle to take away.”
