British actress Daisy Edgar-Jones is returning to a London theatre to perform in an production of a Tennessee Williams play.
The Normal People and Where The Crawdads Sing actress, 26, will star opposite Bob Marley: One Love actor Kingsley Ben-Adir and The Walking Dead star Lennie James in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof at the Almeida theatre.
The theatre also announced a new production of another US playwright’s work, Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon For The Misbegotten, with two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon and Luther star Ruth Wilson in the main roles.
Speaking about the two shows, Almeida artistic director and Olivier Award-winner Rupert Goold said: “The season is bookended by two timeless American classics directed by our associate director Rebecca Frecknall.”
Frecknall was behind the Olivier-winning production of Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire with Edgar-Jones’s Normal People co-star Paul Mescal.
Twisters star Edgar-Jones returns to the Almeida for the family drama about falsehoods being uncovered after making her professional stage debut in Mike Bartlett-written Albion, a Goold-directed production.
Goold also called Pearl Harbour star Shannon and A Very Royal Scandal actress Wilson “two heavyweight stars of stage and screen”, as they star in A Moon For The Misbegotten, set on a barren farm in Connecticut.
Other new productions at the venue include Otherland, a play by Chris Bush, 1536 by Ava Pickett and Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco.
A Moon For the Misbegotten is set to run from June 17 to August 16 2025.
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof has a date for running from December 10 2024 to February 1 2025.
