Double Telling today announces the long-awaited London premiere of Run Sister Run by award-winning playwright Chloë Moss. Directed by Marlie Haco, the production opens at the Arcola Theatre on 7 July, with previews from 2 July, and runs until 26 July.
A sharp yet tender exploration of sisterhood, Run Sister Run follows the entwined lives of Connie and Ursula over four decades as their relationship is tested in profound and unexpected ways.
Playwright Chloë Moss says: “I’m thrilled that Double Telling are bringing Run Sister Run to life at the Arcola, directed by the talented Marlie Haco. This play holds a special place in my heart and I’m very excited by their vision for this production.”
Double Telling’s Artistic Director Marlie Haco says: “I feel incredibly lucky to be bringing Chloë’s resonant play to the London stage this year. I was immediately struck by its shattering depiction of sisterhood, which cuts right to the heart of what it means to love another person, and at what cost. Run Sister Run is a gift to any director, offering both raw intensity and unexpected humour as it champions the will to survive in a broken system. I can’t wait to share this story with audiences this summer.”
Double Telling will partner with charities including Become and Hackney Quest to raise awareness and forge connections with local communities affected by the play’s themes.
Run Sister Run is directed by Marlie Haco, with set and costume design by Tomás Palmer, composition by Ákos Lustyik, lighting design by Alex Forey, and casting by Gabrielle Dawes.
