Lead casting announced for world premiere of new two-part stage adaptation of THE FORSYTE SAGA at Park Theatre

Initial casting has been announced for the world première of a new stage adaptation of John Galsworthy’s seminal work, The Forsyte Saga, which plays at London’s Park Theatre from 11 October-7 December.

Leading the company are Fiona Hampton (Touching the Void, Bristol Old Vic/West End) as Irene Forsyte, Joseph Millson (Noises Off, West End) as Soames Forsyte and Flora Spencer-Longhurst (Amélie, Criterion Theatre) as Fleur Forsyte. Josh Roche’s production will be staged in two parts: The Forsyte Saga Part 1: Irene and The Forsyte Saga Part 2: Fleur.

London, 1886. Wealthy solicitor Soames Forsyte is a man of property, and his beautiful wife Irene is his most prized possession. When he commissions an architect to build him a house in which to keep her, the cracks in their marriage finally begin to show, until something happens so shocking that it tears the Forsyte family apart. Years later, Soames’ daughter Fleur is haunted by the family secret when history begins to repeat itself…

The Forsyte Saga Part 1: Irene and The Forsyte Saga Part 2: Fleur will play across alternate nights and run consecutively on matinee days.

The production is directed by Josh Roche, with set and costume design by Anna Yates, lighting by Alex Musgrave, and sound and composition by Max Pappenheim.

Full casting will be announced shortly.
