The National Theatre has announced the full cast for the world premiere of The Estate, the debut play by Shaan Sahota.
Directed by Daniel Raggett (Accidental Death of an Anarchist), The Estate will run in the Dorfman theatre from 9 July to 23 August 2025.
As previously announced, BAFTA-winning actor Adeel Akhtar (Fool Me Once) will lead the cast as Angad, an ambitious politician navigating a high-stakes political and personal landscape.
Joining Akhtar are Shelley Conn (Bridgerton) as Malicka, Dinita Gohil (The Father and the Assassin) as Sangeeta, Thusitha Jayasundera (The House of Bernarda Alba) as Gyan, Humphrey Ker (Welcome to Wrexham) as Ralph Hughes, Fode Simbo (Samuel Takes a Break…) as Isaac, and Helena Wilson (The Hills of California) as Petra.
The play explores the cost of ambition and the secrets families keep. As the leader of the opposition resigns in scandal, Angad Singh unexpectedly rises as the favourite to succeed.
“He could win, he could make history, he could really change things – as long as his sisters keep their mouths shut.”
The creative team includes set designer Chloe Lamford, costume designer Khadija Raza, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer Asaf Zohar, sound designer Mike Winship, movement director Polly Bennett, fight director Alex Payne, casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor CDG, and staff director Molly Stacey.
