Full cast announced for world premiere of THE ESTATE at National Theatre
The National Theatre has announced full casting for the world premiere of The Estate, the remarkable debut play by Shaan Sahota, which will run in the Dorfman theatre from 9 July-23 August.
Directed by Daniel Raggett, the cast includes the previously announced BAFTA winning actor Adeel Akhtar (Fool Me Once) as Angad, an ambitious politician in this razor-sharp exploration of family, power and the lies we tell about ourselves, alongside Shelley Conn (Bridgerton) as Malicka, Dinita Gohil (The Father and the Assassin) as Sangeeta, Thusitha Jayasundera (The House of Bernarda Alba) as Gyan, Humphrey Ker (Welcome to Wrexham) as Ralph Hughes, Fode Simbo (Samuel Takes a Break...) as Isaac, and Helena Wilson (The Hills of California) as Petra.
Being the favourite comes at a price.
The leader of the opposition has been forced to resign in a scandal. Against the odds Angad Singh emerges as the favourite.
He could win, he could make history, he could really change things – as long as his sisters keep their mouths shut.
The creative team also includes set designer Chloe Lamford, costume designer Khadija Raza, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer Asaf Zohar, sound designer Mike Winship, movement director Polly Bennett, fight director Alex Payne, and casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor CDG.
