Directed by Max Webster, the cast includes Jodie McNee (Orlando, West End) as Julia, Nick Fletcher (The Crucible, National Theatre) as George, Roseanna Frascona (Macbeth, Chichester Festival Theatre) as Anna, Nicholas Rowe (Tammy Faye, Almeida Theatre) as Ralph, and Tanvi Virmani (The Crown Jewels, West End) as David, with Chrissy Brooke (Dr Semmelweis, West End), Xenoa Campbell-Ledgister (Sister Act, UK Tour and English Theatre Frankfurt), Ricardo Castro (Wuthering Heights, National Theatre), and Danny Collins (Sweet Charity, Nottingham Playhouse) playing multiple roles and dancers/cast.
This innovative, brand-new stage adaptation of the thrilling Minority Report, based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, is adapted by renowned writer and actor David Haig. This thought-provoking play questions our ideas of justice and the power of choice and will create a world of breath-taking visuals and immersive storytelling.
Director Max Webster said: “I’m so thrilled we have this extraordinary cast to bring David Haig’s play to life. I can’t wait to start rehearsing with them in what promises to be a huge challenge of acting, technical staging and imagination.”
In 2050, neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, detaining people for crimes before they are committed. But when Julia is accused of pre-murder, she’s in a race against time to save herself from her own system.
This thrilling adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s iconic story challenges our beliefs about justice and free will in a real-time chase through the London of the future.
This incredible theatrical experience creates a world at the borders of science fiction and reality.
