Full cast announced for world premiere of ONE LAST PUSH at Salisbury Playhouse

Wiltshire Creative have announced the cast for their upcoming world première of Chris Chibnall’s (Broadchurch) new comedy One Last Push, which plays at Salisbury Playhouse from 15 February-9 March.

Directed by Gareth Machin, the cast includes Sam Alexander (Machinal, Ustinov Studio) as Mark, Valerie Antwi (Quiz, UK tour) as Alize, Sherry Baines (Henceforward, Derby Playhouse) as Eileen, James Gaddas (Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical, UK tour) as David, David Partridge (The Secret Theatre, Shakespeare’s Theatre) as Paul, and Laura Main (Call the Midwife, BBC) as Jen.

Jen and Mark have done the NCT classes. 

They’ve written the birth plan, in precise detail. 

They’ve even got the birth pool ready in the living room of their new flat. Almost.

Everything is set for the perfect, calm, idyllic home birth.  

Except they’ve reckoned without intrusive family, nosy neighbours, uninvited guests and a new flat full of unwelcome surprises.

Gareth Machin said: “What a fabulous cast we’ve managed to bring together for this world première of Chris Chibnall’s brilliant comedy One Last Push. I am delighted to welcome back Sam Alexander, Sherry Baines, and David Partridge to Salisbury Playhouse. With Valerie Antwi, James Gaddas and Laura Main completing the company - I’m very much looking forward to working with them here in Salisbury and know that our audience are in for a treat.”

The production features design by Simon Kenny, lighting by Johanna Town, sound by Andrea Cox, video design by Dan Light, and casting by Gabrielle Dawes CDG.
