Cast announced for new ecopolitical play YELLOWFIN at Southwark Playhouse

Casting has been announced for Marek Horn’s brand new politically charged  drama Yellowfin, running at Southwark Playhouse from 13 October-6 November.

Bringing together the incredible talents of Nancy Crane (Summer and Smoke; Almeida/Duke of York),  Nicholas Day (Wolf Hall/ Bring Up the Bodies, Aldwych Theatre),  Joshua James (The Seagull, Chichester/National Theatre) and Beruce Khan (Adult Children, Donmar Warehouse), this witty production is a fiercely original study of power and how far people will go to defend it. 

Set in a world where all the fish have inexplicably vanished, Yellowfin is a deep dive into a dystopian future. The play offers a timely insight into our sense of citizenship and responsibility to the planet, as we too navigate our own ‘new normal’.

Director Ed Madden said: “That such a remarkable quartet of actors will be bringing Yellowfin to life  this autumn is a mark of the rare brilliance and distinctiveness of Marek's play. This is a company  of true stage animals; performers I have admired doing great work in major theatres for many  years. I am still pinching myself to be heading into a rehearsal room with them.”

The production features set and costume design by Anisha Fields, lighting by Rajiv Pattani and sound by Max Pappenheim.
