Full casting has been announced for What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, which plays at Marylebone Theatre from 4 October - 23 November.

Joining the previously announced West Wing, Scandal and The Big Bang Theory star Joshua Malina, making his London theatre debut as Phil, are Caroline Catz (Doc Martin, ITV) as Debbie, Dorothea Myer-Bennett (Nachtland, Young Vic) as Shoshana, Simon Yadoo (Love’s Labour’s Lost, Changeling Theatre) as Yerucham, and Gabriel Howell (The Unfriend, Chichester/West End) as Trevor.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is based on Nathan Englander’s short story collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank that was first published in 2012, winning the 2012 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Director Patrick Marber said: “I’ve loved Nathan Englander’s work since I read his astounding debut short story collection, ‘For The Relief Of Unbearable Urges’. I’m very excited to be directing this UK premiere of his new play. It’s a rare thing to find a comedy that is both hilarious and deeply serious. I’m greatly looking forward to rehearsals with this exceptional cast and with the remarkable Mr Englander in attendance.”

What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank features design by Anna Fleischle, lighting by Sally Ferguson, sound by David Gregory, movement direction from EJ Boyle, and casting advisory by Helena Palmer.
