Ellen McDougall has announced the full cast for The Unknown Island, her inaugural production as Artistic Director of Gate Theatre. She directs Jon Foster, Hannah Ringham, Thalissa Teixera and Zubin Varla in the adaptation of Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago’s short story which opens on 18th September, with previews from 11th September, running until 7th October.
We want to tell you a story. We want to take you on a journey. We want everything to be different.
This is an adaptation of José Saramago’s inventive and beautiful short story, The Tale of The Unknown Island. It’s a story about getting stuck, about trying to escape, about shooting for the moon, about going further than the furthest thing. It’s a story about finding something you didn’t think you needed.
McDougall also announces today that Ola Ince will direct Anna Deveare Smith’s Twilight: Los Angeles 1992, the third production of her inaugural season, which opens on 15th January 2018.
