Stars Paul Mescal and Stormzy set to grace the stage at the National Theatre for the first time.
Gear up, theatre enthusiasts! The National Theatre in London is about to host an impressive lineup of stars that'll leave you spellbound.
Among the A-listers gracing the stage is Paul Mescal, known for his role in Gladiator II and a household name after his stint on BBC's Normal People. He's set to star in two iconic plays: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Brian Friel's A Whistle in the Dark.
A Whistle in the Dark tells the tale of a married Irishman living in the Midlands, who accommodates his three brothers and his young wife, causing quite a stir. On the other hand, Death of a Salesman is the heart-wrenching story of an aging salesman, Willy Loman, who struggles to maintain his dignity and provide for his family, his pursuit of the American Dream leading to tragic consequences.
Monica Barbaro, famous for her role in the thriller Top Gun: Maverick, will team up with Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner in a major revival of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Nicola Coughlan, star of the Netflix hit Bridgerton, will bring her charm to John Millington Synge's The Playboy of the Western World, playing in the Lyttelton Theatre from December 4th. Stormzy, the renowned rapper, will also collaborate with the theatre on a groundbreaking new production.
Meanwhile, Letitia Wright, star of Black Panther, will star in The Story, a gripping play about an ambitious black journalist who takes a risk to uncover the truth.
While the specific roles for James McArdle, Clare Perkins, Ukweli Roach, and Éanna Hardwicke haven't been announced yet, they're all set to make their National Theatre debuts, joining the star-studded lineup.
