Directed by Jonathan Church, the play will also star Edward Bennett, Nicholas Day, Calum Finlay, Orlando James, Hari Kang, Asif Khan, Annie Kingsnorth, Sam Parks, Sam Phillips, Louisa Sextona, and Gary Wilmot, with further cast to be announced.

The creative team is completed by Simon Higlett (Set & Costume Designer), Mark Henderson (Lighting Designer), Paul Groothuis (Sound Designer), and Matthew Scott (Composer).
