The cast has been announced for Kiln Theatre artistic director Indhu Rubasingham’s world premiere production of Alexis Zegerman’s Holy Sh!t, the first in the newly refurbished venue (previously the Tricycle), reopening after a major capital redevelopment project. The production runs from 5 September to 6 October 2018 (press night is 10 September).
In the cast are: Daon Broni (Nick), Claire Goose (Juliet), Daniel Lapaine (Sam) and Dorothea Myer-Bennett (Simone).
Simone and Sam will do anything to get their daughter into the local Church of England school. Juliet and Nick agree to show them the ropes. The bonds of family, faith and friendship are stretched to breaking-point as four forty-somethings wrestle for school places.
Robert Jones designs the production, alongside lighting designer Oliver Fenwick, composer David Shrubsole and sound designer Alexander Caplen.
