Full casting has now been confirmed for the upcoming UK premiere of Anna Ziegler’s The Wanderers which will officially open at the Marylebone Theatre on the 22nd October.
Joining the previously announced Anna Popplewell (The Chronicles of Narnia, Halo, The Nun 2) as ‘Julia’, Katerina Tannenbaum (Netflix’s AJ and the Queen, HBO’s And Just Like That, Gossip Girl, Better Call Saul) as ‘Esther’ and Paksie Vernon (Casualty, Eve, People Places and Things at Trafalgar Studios) as ‘Sophie’ will be: Alexander Forsyth (Casualty, The Man Who Knew Infinity) who will feature as ‘Abe’ and Eddie Toll (World War Z, The Little Stranger, Casualty) as ‘Schmuli’.
In a writer’s studio, reality and fiction collide. A mysterious email from a Hollywood star. A marriage tested. A story within a story. But who is really writing whom?
Abe is a prizewinning novelist attempting to capture his parents’ untold history whilst his own life unravels. When famous actress Julia Cheever begins writing to him, their electric correspondence blurs the boundaries between imagination and betrayal, between the stories we create and the ones that create us.
As Abe’s parents Schmuli and Esther materialize from his pages—young, passionate, caught between tradition and desire—we begin to question: are these memories or inventions? And whose hand truly holds the pen?
Can we ever escape the stories we’ve inherited, or do we dissolve into the fictions of those who love us most?
