The production will run at the King’s Head Theatre from the 27th August until the 4th October.
Officially opening at the Islington based theatre on the 2nd September, full casting has now been announced for Max Harrison’s production Philip Ridley’s play.
Harrison directs Elizabeth Connick as Haley, Ned Costello as Presley (Offie Winner for Lead Performance in a Play), and William Robinson as Cosmo (Ian Charleson Award Finalist and Offie Winner for Lead Performance in a Play).
Ten years ago something terrible happened to Presley and Haley. Since then they’ve lived alone in their dead parents’ house, doors bolted against the terrors of the world. But, one night, Presley sees a beautiful stranger on the street outside. And while his sister sleeps…he invites in their worst nightmare.
Ridley’s first professional stage play, The Pitchfork Disney, premiered at Bush Theatre on 2 January 1991. Talking about this revival Philip Ridley said: “I’m so thrilled and honoured that my play, The Pitchfork Disney, is to be seen at the wonderful King’s Head Theatre. And in the hands of the truly remarkable theatre company, Lidless Theatre, who have done several of my plays, including Leaves of Glass at the Park last year, and Tender Napalm at the King’s Head in 2021. People often ask me what The Pitchfork Disney is about. I tell them it’s about fear. And fear. And fear. And fear. And fear. It seems an apt time to be doing the play.”
This revival of the play will feature the work of Designer: Kit Hinchcliffe; Lighting Designer: Ben Jacobs; Sound Designer: Sam Glossop; General Manager: James Quaife and Production Manager: Carrie Croft.
