Weird Sisters and DEM Productions have announced that Echo, a psychological thriller by Susan Eve Haar, will run at King’s Head Theatre from 18 July to 17 August 2025, with an official opening night on Tuesday 22 July.
Directed by Abigail Zealey Bess, Echo stars Amara Okereke and Kyle Rowe in a haunting exploration of identity, intimacy, and the ethics of reproductive technology.
Previously titled Paper Doll, the play has enjoyed acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and 59E59 in New York.
Susan Eve Haar said, “I’m thrilled that Echo will be up in London with amazing actors – how lucky we are to have Amara and Kyle – an awesome production staff, and most of all, an English audience! Echo resonates as an exploration of identity and love in a brave new world, and I look forward to seeing what more is uncovered in this production.”
Set in a secluded B&B in upstate New York, Echo follows a couple celebrating their tenth anniversary. As the night unfolds, their romantic getaway descends into a surreal and dangerous spiral.
Two decades later, another couple returns to the same room to scatter ashes, only to find the past lingering in the walls and whispers of memory.
Described as “downright compelling” by The Scotsman, Echo delves into the terrifying beauty of being made and the performance of intimacy.
The creative team includes Peiyao Wang (design), Daniel Carter-Brennan (lighting), Julian Starr (sound), Matt Powell (video and projection), and Nicholas Hockaday (casting).
