Thanks for Having Me at Riverside Studios to star Kedar Williams-Stirling, Nell Tiger Free, Keelan Kember & Adeyinka Akinrinade

Casting has been announced for Thanks for Having Me at Riverside Studios in London.

A new play by Keelan Kember (Coffee, Ten Sugars; February Face), Thanks for Having Me is running at Riverside Studios from 7 to 26 April 2025.

Billed as a lighthearted and upbeat comedy centred on two mismatched housemates with wildly different takes on love, Thanks for Having Me stars Kedar Williams-Stirling (Netflix’s Sex Education, CBBC’s Wolfblood) as Honey, Nell Tiger Free (HBO’s Game of Thrones, 20th Century Studios’ The First Omen) in her stage debut as Eloise, Adeyinka Akinrinade (Amazon Prime’s Riches) as Maya, and the play’s writer, rising comedy writer and performer Keelan Kember, as Cashel.

Directed by Monica Cox, the show delves into the chaos of modern dating and the struggles of getting over a breakup, exploring what ‘moving on’ really looks like through a series of awkward, heartfelt, and universally relatable moments.

Writer Keelan Kember said in a statement: “I think that at some point in their life, many people will have been, or will in the future be, similar to one of these four characters. They each represent a different take on dating that is reflective of modern life and being a young person, and it is this difference which provides both the tension and the comedy of the play. So anyone who is single I think will enjoy seeing themselves reflected in some sense in the piece, and hopefully find it truthful or cathartic, and anyone who isn’t single will thank their lucky stars that they managed to get out alive.”

Thanks for Having Me is playing at Riverside Studios from 7 to 26 April 2025.
