Orange Tree Artistic Director Paul Miller directs the first major London production in a generation of Terence Rattigan’s Blitz-era comedy While the Sun Shines. It follows Miller’s acclaimed production of Rattigan’s French Without Tears, which played two sold out runs at the Orange Tree Theatre before embarking on a UK tour.

Miller directs Sabrina Bartlett (Victoria, Game of Thrones, Versailles, Poldark), John Hudson (The Women of Lockerbie), Philip Labey (Shakespeare in Love, On Chesil Beach), Michael Lumsden (The Philanderer, The Archers), Jordan Mifsúd (Misalliance), Julian Moore-Cook (The Rolling Stone, The Lieutenant of Innishmore) and Dorothea Myer-Bennett (The Lottery of Love, The Philanderer). The Designer is Simon Daw, Lighting Designer Mark Doubleday, Sound Designer & Composer Elizabeth Purnell and Casting Consultant Vicky Richardson.

While the Sun Shines is at The Orange Tree Theatre 7th June – 27th July 2019.
