Directed by Richard Israel, King of Pangea features a cast led by Dan Burton (Chicago, Gypsy) as Arthur Crow/Captain, Mark Curry (Wicked, Bugsy Malone) as Elijah, and Sophia Ragavelas (Les Misérables, Mamma Mia) as Celia Crow.

Based on Storrow’s own experience, King of Pangea follows Sam Crow as he escapes to the imaginary island of his childhood after the loss of his mother. Guided by a prophet, a ship captain, and a poetess, Sam embarks on a journey to reclaim his identity.
“King of Pangea is inspired by my own experience,” said Martin Storrow. “I am thrilled to be bringing this personal story to London, and look forward to welcoming you to the island of Pangea.”
