Hampstead Theatre has announced casting for its world premiere of Apex Predator by John Donnelly.
Apex Predator is playing Hampstead’s main stage from 22 March to 26 April 2025.
The show will star actor and broadcaster Laura Whitmore (2.22 A Ghost Story) as Ana, with acclaimed actor Sophie Melville (Iphigenia in Splott, Cowbois, The Way) as Mia.
The cast also includes Bryan Dick (The Hills of California) as Joe, Leander Deeny (Abigail’s Party) as Victor, and Callum Knowelden and Lorcan Reilly who share the role of Alfie.
John Donnelly’s (The Knowledge, The Pass) genre-busting new play promises to be a sophisticated critique of the way we live now and a supernatural thriller.
Apex Predator is directed by multi-award-winner Blanche McIntyre (The Invention of Love, The House of Shades, Tartuffe).
Joining Blanche McIntyre in the creative team are designer Tom Piper, lighting designer Jack Knowles, sound designer Christopher Shutt, movement and intimacy director Ingrid Mackinnon, and casting director Annelie Powell CDG.
Apex Predator is running at Hampstead Theatre from 22 March to 26 April 2025.
