The production will run at the Jermyn Street Theatre from the 20th August until the 26th September.
Full casting has been announced for the UK premiere of Simon Stephens’ A Slow Fire, presented by Jermyn Street Theatre and Glass Mask Theatre.
Officially opening at the Jermyn Street Theatre on the 25th August, the production will star: oss Gaynor (Ashton), Fionn Ó Loingsigh (Presley) and Ian Toner (Reece), who reprise their roles from the Dublin production earlier this year.
Years after the apocalypse, Ashton and Reece survive in a bunker on the edge of an imaginary city. Searching for hope, they spend their days acting out stories from the before times. When a stranger appears, is he here to save them? Or is he telling a tale too good to be true?
Director Rex Ryan said, “What a special opportunity to bring this Pandora’s box of a play to the intrepid Jermyn Street Theatre. Simon Stephens is one of the most extraordinary artists working in theatre today and his relationship with Glass Mask has become very important to me and all of our collaborators. I hope for this to be an opportunity to introduce London to our brand of intense firebrand acting, showcase our commitment to new work and welcome three of Ireland’s great theatre actors to the London stage.”
The creative team also includes Costume Designer: Migle Ryan and Lighting Designer: Jess Fitzsimons Kane.
