The National Theatre will present Manor, a new play by Moira Buffini which is to play at the Lyttelton Theatre from 7 April – 15 July 2020.
Casting has been announced for the National Theatre’s production of Manor, a new play by Moira Buffini.
A violent storm sweeps the coast. Diana Stuckley and her daughter are struggling to keep the roof on their run-down manor house, when neighbours and strangers begin to appear on their doorstep, seeking shelter from the floods.
One of these unexpected arrivals is Ted Farrier, the charismatic leader of a right-wing organisation: he could be Diana’s saviour – or pull the fragile household to pieces. Stranded together, this explosive mix of people must survive the weather and each other.
The cast of Manor features Nancy Carroll playing Diana and Ben Daniels playing Ted in this thrilling, witty new play. Michele Austin, Peter Bray, Gillian Dean, David Hargreaves, Shaniqua Okwok and Eliot Salt also join the previously announced Amy Forrest and Edward Judge.
Writer Moira Buffini is reunited with director Fiona Buffini for the first time since the acclaimed Dinner.
Manor features Set and costume design by Lez Brotherston, lighting design by Paule Constable, composition and sound design by Jon Nicholls, video design by Andrzej Goulding and fight direction by Kate Waters.
Manor will run at The Lyttelton at the National Theatre from 7 April – 15 July 2020.
