Further details announced for RE:EMERGE SEASON at Harold Pinter Theatre

Further details have been announced for the Re:Emerge season, opening at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 22 May.

Curated by Ian Rickson, the season will feature three plays: Amy Berryman’s Walden from 22 May-12 June, J’Ouvert by Yasmin Joseph from 16 June-3 July and Joseph Charlton’s Anna X from 8 July-4 August.

Directed by Rickson, Walden stars Gemma Arterton, Fehinti Balogun and Lydia Wilson. It is designed by Rae Smith, with lighting by Azusa Ono, music by Mark Bradshaw and sound by Emma Laxton.

After returning from a year-long Moon mission, Cassie, a NASA botanist, finds herself in a remote cabin in the woods, where her estranged twin sister, Stella, a former NASA architect, has found a new life with climate activist Bryan. Old wounds resurface as the sisters attempt to pick up the pieces of the rivalry that broke them apart.

J’Ouvert is directed by Rebekah Murrell and stars Annice Boparai, Gabrielle Brooks, Sapphire Joy and DJ Zuyane Russell. It is designed by Sandra Falase in collaboration with Chloe Lamford, with lighting by Simisola Majekodunmi, and sound by Beth Duke.

Carnival is here. The streets of Notting Hill are alive with history and amidst the soca, sequins, and endless feathers, Jade and Nadine are fighting for space in a world that should be theirs. A timely echo of Caribbean resistance across centuries, J’OUVERT is a joyful and fearless story of two best friends, battling to preserve tradition in a society where women’s bodies are frequently under threat.

Directed by Daniel Raggett, Anna X stars Golden Globe winner Emma Corrin and Nabhaan Rizwan. It is designed by Mikaela Liakata and Tal Yarden, with lighting by Jessica Hung Han Yun, sound by Mike Winship and costumes by Natalie Pryce.

Immersed in an addictive world of front-row fashion shows, private views, and endless parties, Anna and Ariel find themselves struggling to keep up with New York’s dazzling social elite. How far will two outsiders go to construct the identities they want? And at what price?

All three productions will be filmed for broadcast with filming details to be announced in due course.
