Full casting announced for SOME WOMAN at National Theatre
The National Theatre has announced full casting for Some Woman, a new play by Helen Edmundson and directed by Blanche McIntyre, which runs in the Dorfman theatre from 7 October - 21 November.
As previously announced, Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters) will play Julie Robson in the world premiere. She will be joined by Grace Doherty as Ginny, Ioanna Kimbook as Celia & DC Healy, Tobi King-Bakare as Nathan, Tom McCall as DS Woods, Daniel Millar as Mr Dunster, Hannah Onslow as Kate, Geoffrey Streatfeild as Richard, and Stephen Wight as Mr Blake.
‘I don’t want to be this woman’
Julie Robson is used to being overlooked. At work, at home, everywhere in between.
But when an encounter on a station platform goes wrong and all eyes are suddenly on Julie, something shifts within her and she feels compelled to make a stand.
What happens when an ordinary woman pits herself against the forces that shape the world? What happens when she refuses to be quiet?
Director Blanche McIntyre is joined by an artistic team that includes set and costume designer Robert Jones, lighting designer Natasha Chivers, movement director Lucie Pankhurst, sound designers Ben and Max Ringham, composer Therese Strasser, casting director Martin Poile CDG, and voice coach Jeannette Nelson.
