The Orange Tree Theatre has released first look production images from its production of Cranford, the stage adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s beloved novel by Lin Coghlan and Shaun McKenna.
Currently playing at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond until 16 January 2027, the production is co-created and directed by Josh Roche and stars Tamsin Greig as Matty Jenkyns.
The newly released images offer audiences a glimpse inside the close-knit world of Cranford, where traditions, friendships and social conventions are challenged by a rapidly changing society in 1840s England.
Greig leads a cast that includes Sara Crowe, Abigail Cruttenden, Saffron Dey, Alexandra Gilbreath, Jonny Glynn, Michael Lumsden, Robert Merriam, Sara Powell and Phoebe Pryce.
Adapted from Elizabeth Gaskell’s classic novel, Cranford follows the lives of a community of formidable women navigating change, family relationships and matters of the heart, while holding tightly to the customs that define their town.
The production reunites director Josh Roche with writers Lin Coghlan and Shaun McKenna following their acclaimed adaptation of The Forsyte Saga.
The creative team includes set and costume designer Natalie Johnson, lighting designer Jamie Platt, sound designer and composer Max Pappenheim, casting consultant Jacob Sparrow, assistant director Charlotte Rogers and associate costume designer Evelien Van Camp.
