The production will run at the Jermyn Street Theatre from the 9th October until the 15th November.
The Jermyn Street Theatre has announced complete casting for its upcoming production of Ragdoll, which will officially open at the theatre on the 14th October.
Josh Seymour directs Nathaniel Parker (The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Olivier award-winner and Tony nominee for Wolf Hall), as Robert, Abigail Cruttenden (The Theory of Everything, Not Going Out) as Holly, Ben Lamb as The Lawyer, and Katie Matsell as The Heiress in this world premiere of Katherine Moar’s play.
Ragdoll marks the return of Moar to the Jermyn Street Theatre following on from her acclaimed debut play Farm Hall, which embarked on a UK tour and subsequent West End run at Theatre Royal Haymarket. Talking about the news she said: “’m thrilled to be returning to Jermyn Street Theatre after the wonderful experience I had there with my debut play, Farm Hall. There’s something truly special about this space – its intimacy draws the audience into every moment, making each performance deeply personal. I’m especially excited to be working with such a phenomenal cast. I can’t wait to see them bring this play to life in rehearsals and to share that magic with audiences.”
1978. Holly, a young heiress, sits in a California prison awaiting trial for her role in a string of armed robberies that have captivated the nation. Her only hope? Her hotshot lawyer, Robert—who might make his name, if he can save hers.
2017. Robert, now one of the most famous attorneys in America, faces a different kind of trial: the court of public opinion. In a last-ditch bid for redemption, he turns to the one former client who could help him plead his case. But will she?
