Casting has been announced for Beneath the Family Tree, the haunting new play from No Name Creatives, running at Riverside Studios from 30 June to 5 July 2025.
Christie Fewry will take on the role of Esther, joined by Paul Chinkwednde as Kwame and Esther Amrah as Ama.
Beneath the Family Tree is written by Emmanuel Akwafo and Emma Bakare, and directed by Prime Isaac.
Produced by No Name Creatives, this debut production promises a gripping blend of psychological realism and social horror.
Whispers. Secrets. Shadows. Something dark stirs this summer in one of the most head-turning new plays to hit the London stage.
In a theatrical event that has insiders buzzing and tickets flying, Beneath the Family Tree makes its explosive debut at Riverside Studios for one week only.
It starts with a death anniversary. It ends with a question: Grief has a smell… Memory has a weight… And some secrets should’ve stayed buried.
Set inside a family home that seems to breathe with its own dark intent, Beneath the Family Tree spirals from taut family drama into something truly sinister.
When Kwame, Esther, and Ama return to their childhood home to honour the anniversary of their mother’s passing, grief quickly curdles into suspicion.
The walls whisper. The past doesn’t line up. And unspoken traumas claw their way into the light.
A heady fusion of Jordan Peele’s social horror and British psychological realism, this debut production is already being whispered about as the most unexpected theatrical event of the summer.
It’s not just a play. It’s a reckoning. And it’s happening for seven shows only.
Will you dare to look beneath the roots?
