Full casting has been announced for The Unbelievers, a new play about family, memory and hope by Nick Payne, which plays at the Royal Court from 10 October-29 November.
Directed by Marianne Elliott and designed by Bunny Christie, the show stars Nicola Walker (Unicorn, West End) as a mother facing the disappearance of her son, alongside Ella Lily Hyland (Black Doves, Netflix), and Paul Higgins (Slow Horses, Apple TV), with Esh Alladi (This Much I Know, Hampstead Theatre), Alby Baldwin (Hamlet Hail to the Thief, RSC), Harry Kershaw (Our Country’s Good, Lyric Hammersmith), Martin Marquez (Dear England, National Theatre), Lucy Thackeray (The Buddha of Suburbia, RSC/Wise Children/Barbican), and Isabel Adomakoh Young (As You Like It, Shakespeare’s Globe).
‘I love my son. My son is alive.’
A teenager disappears. Time fractures. His mother will never give up hope.
The Unbelievers is a new play about the moments that shatter our world, and the ones that help us piece it back together.
Playwright Nick Payne returns to the Royal Court with a startling portrait of motherhood, faith, family – and the lengths we go to for those we refuse to forget.
The production features lighting by Jack Knowles, composition and sound design by Nicola T. Chang, movement direction by Etta Murfitt, and casting by Charlotte Sutton CDG.
