Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis & Louisa Harland in Ulster American – rehearsal photos

First look photos have been released of Woody Harrelson, Andy Serkis and Louisa Harland in rehearsal for Ulster American.

David Ireland’s award-winning, brutally funny social satire begins performances at Riverside Studios on 4 December 2023, where it runs to 27 January 2024.

Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson (True Detective, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) returns to the London stage for the first time in two decades to play Oscar-winning American actor Jay Conway.

BAFTA and Emmy award-winner Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Batman) stars as English director Leigh Carver, with Louisa Harland (Derry Girls, Dancing at Lughnasa) playing Northern Irish playwright Ruth Davenport.

In the play, an Oscar -winning American actor, an English director and a Northern Irish playwright are about to begin rehearsals for a new play – one that could transform each of their careers. But when it turns out that they’re not on the same page, the night threatens to spiral out of control. The play centres on power dynamics, cultural identity and the perils of being a woman in the entertainment industry, where nothing is off limits in this pitch-black comedy.

Ulster American is produced by Second Half Productions.
