Casting announced for Nancy Carroll’s adaptation of THE CABINET MINISTER

The Menier Chocolate Factory has announced the cast for Arthur Wing Pinero’s The Cabinet Minister, adapted by Nancy Carroll, which plays at the venue from 21 September-16 November.

Directed by Paul Foster, the cast includes adapter Nancy Carroll as Lady Katherine Twombley, George Blagden (Company, West End) as Valentine White, Joe Edgar (Just For One Day, Old Vic) as Brook Twombley, Phoebe Fildes (Assassins, Nottingham Playhouse/Watermill Theatre) as Fanny Lacklustre, Rosalind Forbes (In Clay, Upstairs at the Gatehouse) as Imogen Twombley, Dom Hodson (Bleak Expectations, Watermill Theatre/West End) as Keith/Lord Drumdurris, Dillie Keane (A Little Night Music, Watermill Theatre) as Lady Macphail, Nicholas Rowe (Minority Report, Lyric Hammersmith) as the Right Honourable Sir Julian Twombley, Laurence Ubong Williams (The Motive and the Cue, National Theatre/West End) as Mr Bernard Lacklustre and Mr Melting, Romaya Weaver (professional debut) as Lady Effie Vibart, and Matthew Woodyatt (A Song of Songs, Park Theatre) as Sir Colin Macphail of Ballocheevin.

Sir Julian Twombley is in trouble: his wife and son have run up massive debts and his political reputation is in the balance. The House of Commons is far from a safe space for him and the newspapers are sniffing blood. Can he save face and hang on to his sanity?

Arthur Wing Pinero’s breathless farce is given a new life in Nancy Carroll’s adaptation. A crack cast tackles this sparkling story of marriage, blackmail and class where all bets are off!
