First look rehearsal images have been released for the world premiere of Running With Lions at The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre.

The production will star Ruby Barker best known for playing Marina Thompson in Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton, Wil Johnson, who has performed extensively on stage and screen for 30 years, including Waking the Dead (BBC), Nickcolia King-N’da (The Death of a Black Man, Hampstead Theatre), Suzette Llewellyn (EastEnders, BBC), and Velile Tshabalala (Doctor Who and Call the Midwife, BBC).

The debut stage play from new writing talent Sian Carter will be directed by Talawa’s Artistic Director Michael Buffong (A Kind of People, Guys & Dolls) at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from 10th February to 12th March.
