The Old Vic Theatre announces casting for the upcoming world premiere of The Brightening Air by Olivier Award-winning writer and director Conor McPherson (The Weir, Girl from the North Country).

Dermot (Chris O’Dowd) returns home to County Sligo with hidden aims. His siblings (Brian Gleeson and Rosie Sheehy) are desperate to hold on to the family home but with an ex-clergyman uncle and sister-in-law (Seán McGinley and Hannah Morrish, respectively) looking for their own answers, plans soon go awry.

An entrancing tale of fate, family and unseen forces in 1980s Ireland, full cast of The Brightening Air includes Derbhle Crotty (Portia Coughlan), Eimhin Fitzgerald Doherty (Juno and the Paycock), Brian Gleeson (Bad Sisters), Aisling Kearns (Juno and the Paycock), Seán McGinley (A Whistle in the Dark), Hannah Morrish (The Merchant of Venice 1936), Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) and Rosie Sheehy (Machinal). They are joined by understudies Ella Maria Carmen, Callum Cronin, Joseph McCarthy and Amy Vicary-Smith.

       

The Brightening Air will play at The Old Vic for a limited run from 10 Apr–14 Jun 2025.
