The cast includes Paul Mescal (Normal People) as Stanley, Anjana Vasan (Summer and Smoke, West End) as Stella, and Lydia Wilson (The Duchess of Malfi, Almeida) as Blanche.

Completing the cast are Eduardo Ackerman, Ralph Davis (Blue/Orange, Theatre Royal Bath), Janet Etuk (An Improbable Musical, Royal & Derngate), Gabriela García (West Side Story, Royal Exchange), Tom Penn (Midnight Movie, Royal Court), Jabez Sykes (Rock/Paper/Scissors, Sheffield Theatres) and Dwane Walcott (Henry V, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).
