Till The Stars Come Down – full cast announced for National Theatre production

Full casting has been announced for National Theatre’s production of Till The Stars Come Down.

Philip Whitchurch joins the previously announced cast of Lorraine Ashbourne, Lucy Black, Lisa McGrillis, Sinéad Matthews, Derek Riddell, Ruby Stokes, Alan Williams, and Marc Wootton. Three children performing the role of Sarah throughout the run are Maggie Livermore, Cadence Williams and Bodhi Rae Breathnach.

The new play from former National Theatre writer-in-residence Beth Steel (The House of Shades) is directed by Bijan Sheibani (Barber Shop Chronicles).

This show, which marks Beth Steel’s main stage debut with the National Theatre, is set on a hot summer’s day as a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. As the vodka flows and dances are shared, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested. Till the Stars Come Down is a passionate, heartbreaking and hilarious portrayal of a larger-than-life family struggling to come to terms with a changing world.

Joining director Bijan Sheibani in the creative team are set and costume designer Samal Blak, lighting designer Paule Constable, choreographer and movement director Aline David, sound designer Gareth Fry, fight director Kev McCurdy, intimacy coordinator Asha Jennings-Grant, staff director Stephan Mysko von Schultze, casting director Alastair Coomer CDG and children’s casting Chloe Blake.

Till the Stars Come Down is playing in the Dorfman theatre from 24 January until 16 March 2024.
