The production will run at the theatre from the 12th July until the 9th August.
It has been announced that Arsema Thomas (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story) and Freddy Carter (Shadow and Bone, Masters of the Air The Doll Factory) are set to star in Chiara Atik’s Poor Clare.
Clare has it all. She’s a super-rich noblewoman living her best life in medieval Assisi, trying out hairstyles, and sharing the latest gossip with her sister and maids.
Everything is on track for her to marry some super-rich nobleman and live super-richly ever after. But on the streets of Assisi, she meets Francis, who’s sharing some of the wildest ideas Clare has ever heard. And when she listens to what he has to say, her eyes are opened to a whole new way of living.
Blanche McIntyre directs this production of the play. Chiara Atik’s Poor Clare won the 2022 American Theatre Critics Association’s New Play Award, the LA Drama Critics Circle winner for Best New Play, and a Susan Smith Blackburn Award finalist.
Full casting for the production will be announced soon.
Tickets will go on general sale on the 23rd May. For further information visit: https://orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/poor-clare/
