Casting has been announced for the Park Theatre’s revival of Nick Payne’s play One Day When We Were Young.
The play is running at the Park Theatre from 26 February to 22 March 2025.
One Day When We Were Young will star Cassie Bradley (Coronation Street, Home I’m Darling) and Barney White (Professor T), as a couple across three different points in their relationship and at three moments in time, from the middle of World War II to the 1960s to the turn of the millennium.
Presented by Greenwich Theatre in association with Park Theatre, the production is directed by James Haddrell, and paints a moving picture of an ageing relationship set against an ever-changing social landscape.
One Day When We Were Young is written by Nick Payne, the Tony Award-nominated writer of Constellations, BBC and Netflix drama Wanderlust, and feature film We Live in Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
Director James Haddrell, who is Artistic Director of Greenwich Theatre, said in a statement: “I have wanted to stage One Day When We Were Young for a long time, but Nick’s play requires two actors at the absolute top of their game, playing these two characters across a period of 60 years from the impetuous flush (and fear) of youth to the frustrations of old age. I am delighted to have the opportunity to finally present the show with Cassie and Barney. Both have extensive experience across both stage and screen, but more importantly both have an astonishing ability to see beyond the physical ageing process and understand the ageing of intelligence and emotion – two hearts ageing in parallel, though not always in unison. Presenting Leonard and Violet’s story in the intimate space of Park90 offers audiences a chance to see these two fantastic actors at work – and I can’t wait to share this story.”
One Day When We Were Young is running at the Park Theatre from 26 February to 22 March 2025.
