Manhunt tells the story of Raoul Moat: the man at the heart of one of the most infamous manhunts of the century.

On July 1st, 2010, Raoul Moat was released from Durham Prison. The events of the next few days would leave a man murdered, a police officer blinded, a woman fighting for her life – and spark the biggest manhunt in UK history.

Manhunt stars Samuel Edward Cook (Peaky Blinders, Player Kings, West End) as Raoul Moat, with Trevor Fox (As You Like It, RSC), Leo James (Peter and the Wildflowers, BALLETlorent/Live), Patricia Jones (Mycelial, Northern Stage/Open Clasp), Danny Kirrane (Jerusalem, West End/Broadway), Angela Lonsdale (Bluebird, Royal Court), Sally Messham (Black Mountain, Paines Plough), and Nicolas Tennant (The Birthday Party, Theatre Royal Bath).

The role of the Boy is played by Nathan Jago (Babies) and Odhran Riddell (Between the Lights), and the role of the Girl is played by Zoe Bryan (That Christmas) and Madeleine McKenna (In Too Deep).
