Sheffield Theatres announces cast and further creative team for ROCK/PAPER/SCISSORS

Sheffield Theatres have announced the cast for its trilogy of new plays, Rock/Paper/Scissors by Chris Bush, running from 16 June-2 July.

Performing across all three theatres, the cast includes Denise Black playing Susie, Natalie Casey playing Mel, Andrew Macbean playing Leo, Daisy May playing Molly, Alastair Natkiel playing Billy, Samantha Power playing Faye, Guy Rhys playing Omar, Lucie Shorthouse playing Zara, Dumile Sibanda playing Ava, Jabez Sykes playing Mason, Maia Tamrakar playing Liv, Joe Usher playing Trent, Chanel Waddock playing Coco and Leo Wan playing Xander.

Additional members of the creative team have also been announced: joining the previously announced co-directors Robert Hastie, Anthony Lau and Elin Schofield, and designers Janet Bird, Natasha Jenkins and Ben Stones, are lighting designers Richard Howell, Jai Morjaria and Johanna Town; composer Richard Taylor; sound designers Tingying Dong, Annie May Fletcher and Sam Glossop; and movement director Tom Herron.

Rock/Paper/Scissors form the centrepiece of Sheffield Theatres’ 50th anniversary celebrations whereby the plays will see all three Sheffield spaces – The Crucible, Studio and Lyceum theatres – unite to stage this new trilogy. Three interlinked but standalone plays will tell the story of a Sheffield scissor manufacturer and the three generations feuding over what happens to the factory site. In a theatrical first, the same cast perform in the Crucible, Lyceum and Studio simultaneously, dashing between scenes – when a character exits one stage, they arrive on another.
