If you are in London this summer, make sure you don’t miss the chance to catch National Theatre, Gavin Kalin Productions, Mark Gordon Pictures/Eilene Davidson Productions, Seaview and Second Half Productions’ box office sensation ‘People, Places and Things’. Duncan Macmillan’s intoxicating play, directed by the acclaimed, award-winning Jeremy Herrin and originally co-produced by the National Theatre and Headlong, will conclude its critically acclaimed run at the Trafalgar Theatre on the 10 August 2024.
The cast includes Denise Gough, who reprises her Olivier and Critics’ Circle Theatre Award-winning role as Emma, a struggling actress whose life is spinning inexorably out of control. Sinéad Cusack (V for Vendetta, Warner Bros; Rock ‘n’ Roll, Royal Court Theatre) plays the roles of Doctor/Therapist/Mum, Malachi Kirby (Small Axe:Mangrove, BBC; upcoming Anansi Boys, Amazon Prime) plays the role of Mark, Danny Kirrane (Baby Reindeer, Netflix; The Sandman, Netflix) plays the role of Foster and Kevin McMonagle (Scoop, Netflix; Best of Enemies, Young Vic) plays the roles of Dad/Paul.
Duncan Macmillan’s 'People, Places and Things' received widespread critical acclaim when it had its world premiere at the National Theatre’s Dorfman theatre in September 2015. Set Designer Bunny Christie has recreated her wonder room style stage design with on-stage seating, bringing an element of intimacy to this transfixing and palpable portrayal of addiction.
