Cast & creative team announced for London transfer of The Incident Room

22 January 2020

Today we announce the cast and creative team for the London transfer of our latest in house production.

The Incident Room is written by Olivia Hirst and our Artistic Director David Byrne and will be directed by Beth Flintoff and David Byrne.

We're delighted to be reunited with many of the creative team who brought you our award-winning production of Secret Life of Humans. Returning are Composer and Sound Designer Yaiza Varona, Digital Designer Zakk Hein and Costume Designer Ronnie Dorsey. The set will be designed by Patrick Connellan with Lighting from Greg Cebula.

The cast are: Katy Brittain, Colin R Campbell, Peter Clements, Ben Eagle, Natasha Magigi, Charlotte Melia and Jamie Samuel.

The Incident Room opened with Pleasance at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019 and played to sold-out audiences and rave reviews throughout its run. In 2020 the production will run at NDT for five weeks and Greenwich Theatre for one week. Tickets for both runs are on sale now.

Tickets for the NDT run are available here. 11 February - 14 March, 2020.

Tickets for the Greenwich run are available here. 17 - 21 March, 2020.

The production is a forensic examination of the five year hunt for the man known as the Yorkshire Ripper. We follow Sergeant Megan Winterburn as she joins hundreds of officers working around the clock on the biggest manhunt in British police history.

With public pressure mounting, the investigation resorts to increasingly audacious attempts to catch one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers.
