Today we are delighted to announce that Stacey Ghent (‘Sophia’ – Arcola Theatre, ‘The Prince and the Pauper’ – Watermill Theatre) and Shenagh Govan (‘One Under’ Arcola Theatre, ‘Legacy’ – Rich Mix Theatre) have been cast playing mother and daughter in two-hander When The Long Trick’s Over – a triumphant play from Olivier Award-winning Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (‘Emilia’– West End, ‘Typical Girls’ – Sheffield Crucible, ‘Mum’ – Plymouth Theatre Royal & Soho Theatre) – a work which moves forwards and backwards in time across the 21 miles between Dover and Calais as a young swimmer harnesses her mind and body to make the Channel crossing.
The show opens on 11th February at the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich and then tours across the East of England until 10th March.
