National Theatre and Complicite announce full casting for MNEMONIC

The National Theatre and Complicité have announced full casting for the return of Mnemonic, conceived and directed by Simon McBurney, which plays in the Olivier theatre from 22 June - 10 August.

Joining the previously announced original cast members Richard Katz (The Master and Margarita) and Kostas Philippoglou (Captain Corelli’s Mandolin) will be Khalid Abdalla (The Crown), Thomas Arnold (Oslo), Laurenz Laufenberg (Beware of Pity), Tim McMullan (Mnemonic original cast), Hisham Abdel Razek (The Play That Goes Wrong), Sarah Slimani (Grenfell: In the Words of Survivors), Sophie Steer (Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead), Eileen Walsh (The Crucible), and Arthur Wilson (Force Majeure).

A body is found in the ice, and a woman is looking for her father while a man searches for his lost lover. Mnemonic is as much about origins as it is about memory and remembering what is lost. Mnemonic asks: what is our place in the natural world? How have human relationships with the environment shaped patterns of migration? Who are we and where do we come from?

The production features set design by Michael Levine, costumes by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Paul Anderson, sound by Christopher Shutt, video design by Roland Horvath for rocafilm, and casting by Alastair Coomer CDG.
