The production is set to begin performances at the Bridge Theatre on the 5th October.

Full casting has been announced for the upcoming European premiere of Suzan-Lori Parks’ White Noise, directed by Polly Findlay.

The cast for this production is set to be comprised of James Corrigan , Ken Nwosu, Faith Omole and Helena Wilson.

Thirty-somethings Leo, Misha, Ralph and Dawn have been inseparable since college.  Making their way together in the big city, they are liberal, open-minded and socially aware.  Misha is producing the hit online show ‘Ask A Black’; Ralph is waiting for tenure at his university, and as a lawyer, Dawn spends her days fighting for social justice.  Leo would be a talented visual artist – if only he could sleep.  As best friends and lovers, confident in their woke-ness, their connection with each other is stronger than anything else – until, that is, Leo is assaulted by the police in a racially motivated incident.  Shaken to the core, he brings to the group an extreme proposition.  White Noise takes an unflinching look at race in the 21st century from both a black and white perspective.

Meanwhile, the creative team for White Noise includes: set designs by Lizzie Clachan,costumes by Natalie Pryce, lighting by Jackie Shemesh, movement by Jade Hackett and sound by Donato Wharton.
