Cassie Bradley and Barney White to star in One Day When We Were Young

Cassie Bradley and Barney White

Cassie Bradley and Barney White have been announced as the cast of Nick Payne’s One Day When We Were Young, presented by Greenwich Theatre in association with Park Theatre.

Cassie Bradley is best known for playing Natalie Watkins in Coronation Street, and work at the National Theatre including Home I’m Darling, directed by Tamara Harvey, and King Lear, directed by Sam Mendes. Barney White will soon reprise his leading role in the fourth series of ITV’s Professor T, alongside Ben Miller and Frances de la Tour, and will appear in the second series of The Couple Next Door for Channel 4. The pair play a couple across three different points in their relationship at three moments in time, from the middle of World War II to the 1960s to the turn of the millennium, and paints a moving picture of an aging relationship set against an ever-changing social landscape.

One Day When We Were Young is by Nick Payne, the Tony Award-nominated writer of Constellations, BBC/Netflix drama Wanderlust and feature film We Live in Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. In 1942, as the bombs begin to fall, Leonard and Violet find themselves in a hotel in Bath, embarking on their first night together and desperately hoping it won’t be their last. It’s the eve of Leonard’s departure for the Front and everything seems to be falling apart for the young couple, but despite their fears the world keeps turning, time keeps moving on, and over a period of sixty years the invisible bond between two people is stretched to its limit. Named after the couple’s favourite song, One Day When We Were Young delves into the fragility of love and tests the limits of a relationship. The play will be revived for Park Theatre by the Artistic Director of Greenwich Theatre James Haddrell.

       

Director James Haddrell said “I have wanted to stage One Day When We Were Young for a long time, but Nick’s play requires two actors at the absolute top of their game, playing these two characters across a period of 60 years from the impetuous flush (and fear) of youth to the frustrations of old age. I am delighted to have the opportunity to finally present the show with Cassie and Barney. Both have extensive experience across both stage and screen, but more importantly both have an astonishing ability to see beyond the physical ageing process and understand the ageing of intelligence and emotion – two hearts ageing in parallel, though not always in unison. Presenting Leonard and Violet’s story in the intimate space of Park90 offers audiences a chance to see these two fantastic actors at work – and I can’t wait to share this story.”

Greenwich Theatre is one of London’s foremost Off-West End theatres, working on a local, national and international stage. From presenting a year-round programme of established and emerging theatre in the Royal borough of Greenwich, to supporting artists in taking their work around the world, the development of new work is always at the heart of what they do.
