The Almeida Theatre has announced full casting for Otherland, a new play by Chris Bush (Standing at the Sky’s Edge).
Directed by Ann Yee (The Human Body, Donmar Warehouse), the world premiere of Otherland is running at the Almeida from 12 February to 15 March 2025.
Already announced are Jade Anouka, Jackie Clune, Fizz Sinclair and Amanda Wilkin.
They will be joined by Danielle Fiamanya, Laura Hanna, Beth Hinton-Lever and Serena Manteghi.
Alongside Ann Yee, the creative team will include Set Designer Fly Davis, Costume Designer Milla Clarke, Lighting Designer Anna Watson, Sound Designer Pete Malkin, Composer and Music Supervisor Jennifer Whyte, and Casting Director Amy Ball CDG.
Otherland explores what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change.
Break-ups aren’t just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities. What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
Otherland is playing at the Almeida Theatre from 12 February to 15 March 2025.
