The production will run at the Richmond based theatre from the 12th July until the 9th August.
The complete casting for Blanche McIntyre’s production of Chiara Atik’s Poor Clare has been announced.
Joining the previously announced Arsema Thomas, making her stage debut and Freddy Carter are: Anushka Chakravarti, Hermione Gulliford, Liz Kettle, George Ormerod, and Jacoba Williams.
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.
Talking about the news, Blanche McIntyre said today, “I’m thrilled to be working with this wonderful cast on Poor Clare. They are a fantastically talented company of actors, and I can’t wait to explore the world of Chiara’s extraordinary play with them as they bring it to life on the Orange Tree stage.”
Meanwhile, the creative team includes: set and costume design by Eleanor Bull, lighting design by Oliver Fenwick, sound design by George Dennis, casting director Annelie Powell CDG, assistant director Esther Fernández Guerra and costume supervisor Isobel Pellow.
