The full cast and creative team for world premiere of Brokeback Mountain, a new play with music, running at @sohoplace from 10 May-12 August, have been revealed today.

Joining the previously announced Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges as Jack and Ennis respectively, will be Emily Fairn (The Responder) making her stage debut as Alma, Paul Hickey (Waste, National Theatre) as Older Ennis and Martin Marquez (Guys & Dolls, Sheffield Theatres) as Joe/Bill/Jack’s Father.

Written by Ashley Robinson with songs by Dan Gillespie Sells, based on Annie Proulx’s short story, and directed by Jonathan Butterell, completing the creative team are set and costume designer Tom Pye, lighting designer David Finn, sound designer Christopher Shutt, and casting director Shaheen Baig. 

Wyoming 1963:  a wild landscape where people live in extreme rural poverty in tight, insular and conservative communities. When Ennis and Jack take jobs on the isolated Brokeback Mountain, all their certainties of life change forever as they flounder in unexpected emotional waters of increasing depth. Dan Gillespie-Sells beautiful Country and Western songs weave heartbreakingly through this intense tale of an irresistible and hidden love spanning twenty years and its tragic consequences.
