The cast and creative team who will be bringing the world premiere production of Graham Warrener’s brand-new play Don’t Shoot The Meistersinger to the Studio at New Wimbledon Theatre from 3-12 November have been announced today.

Directed by Jake Sleet, the ensemble cast includes Alfie Noble (Loafers, Drayton Arms Theatre), Emily Littman (Trying To Create A Play That Will Change The World, Theatre Deli), Finley Pile (For Boys short film), Duru Agirbas (currently training at UAL), Joseph Aylward (The Play With Speeches, Hen and Chickens Theatre), Mia Rose Finnigan (Company Actor at Chichester Festival Theatre & Development Director for Profugo  Arts) and Andreas Constantinou. 

The trenches of Northern Europe are the location for this brand-new comedy which is situated within the extraordinary Christmas Truce of 1914. Don’t Shoot The Meistersinger goes beyond the legendary football match to show the impact of war on both sides (home and away if you will). The production also serves as Profugo Art’s first full-length production. Profugo was first founded to give a platform for creatives, at whatever level of their career, to hone their theatre skills and develop new work. And, they have  successfully been working with artists and creatives to hold workshop performances, partial staging’s and new writing nights since their conception.  

Creative Director Graham Hill and Development Director Mia Rose Finnigan are  delighted to be presenting this brand-new comedy as part of the New Wimbledon  Theatre’s Premieres Season. They said: “Not only does this give us a chance to present engaging  New Writing, but we’re also incredibly excited that this play will be performed by such a  talented group of creative young people. As part of our commitment to diversity and opportunity, we are privileged to be able to share the talents of a performer who, due to  physical disability, would not normally be able to perform on stage.”
