Mariah Gale and Rory Keenan to Star in Afterplay at The Coronet Theatre

The Coronet Theatre has announced that the cast for master playwright Brian Friel’s Afterplay, directed by John Haidar, will be Mariah Gale and Rory Keenan

When Andrey and Sonya were young they were told how their lives should be – marriage, children and happily ever after. Decades later they meet by chance in a Moscow café. Their dreams have given way to a rather different reality. When they look in a mirror, someone they don’t recognise looks back. In the course of their encounter, they catch sight of what might have been, and the possibility of a different future.

Brian Friel is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s greatest dramatists, having written over 30 plays across six decades and won may major accolades.

       

Ian Charleson Award winner Mariah Gale’s career on stage includes Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, Ophelia in Hamlet, and Miranda in The Tempest (RSC), Eden (Hampstead Theatre), Measure For Measure (The Globe), Proof (Menier Chocolate Factory), ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore (Southwark Playhouse) Twelfth Night (Regent’s Park) and Three Sisters (Young Vic). TV work includes January 22nd, Dr Who, Lucky Man, Broadchurch, The Hollow Crown, Death Comes to Pemberly. In film Rare Beasts, Hercules, Abraham’s Point and Hamlet.

Irish actor Rory Keenan has worked extensively on stage and screen. His most recent of many stage appearances include in Plenty (Chichester Festival Theatre), Long Day’s Journey Into Night (West End/ BAM New York), Saint Joan (Donmar Warehouse) and The Seagull (Corn Exchange, Dublin).
