The National Theatre has announced full casting for The Estate, the highly anticipated debut play by Shaan Sahota, opening in the Dorfman theatre this summer.
Directed by Daniel Raggett (Accidental Death of an Anarchist), the production will run from 9 July to 23 August 2025.
As previously revealed, BAFTA-winning actor Adeel Akhtar (Fool Me Once) will lead the cast as Angad, an ambitious politician on the brink of power in this razor-sharp new drama exploring family, identity, and the politics of silence.
Joining Akhtar in The Estate are Shelley Conn (Bridgerton) as Malicka, Dinita Gohil (The Father and the Assassin) as Sangeeta, Thusitha Jayasundera (The House of Bernarda Alba) as Gyan, Humphrey Ker (Welcome to Wrexham) as Ralph Hughes, Fode Simbo (Samuel Takes a Break…) as Isaac, and Helena Wilson (The Hills of California) as Petra.
Being the favourite comes at a price…
The play follows Angad Singh as he unexpectedly rises to prominence following the resignation of the opposition leader in a scandal. With a historic victory within reach, Angad’s path to power is threatened by the very people closest to him – his own family.
The production reunites director Daniel Raggett with a top-tier creative team including set designer Chloe Lamford, costume designer Khadija Raza, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer Asaf Zohar, sound designer Mike Winship, movement director Polly Bennett, fight director Alex Payne, casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor CDG, and staff director Molly Stacey.
