Casting announced for Suzan-Lori Parks' WHITE NOISE at the Bridge Theatre

White Noise

Suzan-Lori Parks’ White Noise will receive its European premiere at the Bridge Theatre from 5 October-13 November 2021.

Directed by Polly Findlay, the production will star James Corrigan (King Lear; Duke of York’s Theatre), Ken Nwosu (Ghosts; Home Manchester), Faith Omole (A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Shakespeare’s Globe) and Helena Wilson (The Deep Blue Sea; Chichester Festival Theatre).

White Noise is designed by Lizzie Clachan, with costumes by Natalie Pryce, lighting by Jackie Shemesh, and sound by Donato Wharton.

Thirty-somethings Leo, Misha, Ralph and Dawn have been inseparable since college.  Making their way together in the big city, they are liberal, open-minded and socially aware.  Misha is producing the hit online show ‘Ask A Black’; Ralph is waiting for tenure at his university, and as a lawyer, Dawn spends her days fighting for social justice.  Leo would be a talented visual artist – if only he could sleep.  As best friends and lovers, confident in their woke-ness, their connection with each other is stronger than anything else – until, that is, Leo is assaulted by the police in a racially motivated incident.  Shaken to the core, he brings to the group an extreme proposition.  White Noise takes an unflinching look at race in the 21st century from both a black and white perspective.
