Matt Smith to star in Royal Court play

Matt Smith to star in new Anthony Neilson play Unreachable at the Royal Court

Unreachable is a new play by writer and director Anthony Neilson which will be created in the rehearsal room. Details of the play are sketchy but it will centre on a director who is on an obsessive quest to capture the perfect light.

Throughout rehearsals, online content based on ideas the company are experimenting with will be posted online that will offer audiences an insight into the process of devising work, and the themes that will shape the finished production.

The cast will also feature Amanda Drew, Tamara Lawrance, Jonjo O’neill and Richard Pyros.

The production will have set design by Chloe Lamford, costume design by Fly Davis, lighting design by Chahine Yavroyan and composition and sound design by Nick Powell.

Unreachable will run from 2 July 2016 to 6 August 2016 at the Royal Court Theatre.
