VAULT Creative Arts has announced the cast for its festive production of The Lost Library of Leake Street, returning to The Glitch in London this Christmas.
Ronay Poole reprises the role of Isla Greenwood. A Carlton Hobbs and Alan Bates Award semi-finalist, Ronay’s recent credits include Inside No. 9 (BBC), The Father (Lyric Hammersmith), I Couldn’t Do Your Job (Pleasance Theatre), Black or White Coffee (Union Theatre), and Tomb Raider: Live (Paramount/Little Lion Entertainment).
Ronay said she is “very excited to reprise the role of Isla Greenwood this year at The Glitch.”
Joining the cast as Maximilian Crimp is Malcolm Jeffries. Malcolm won Best Supporting Actor at the Latitude Film Awards for Infidelity and was nominated at the New Jersey Film Awards for Perfect Age.
His stage credits include Macbeth, Landscape with Weapon, Julius Caesar, God of Carnage, and The One. On screen, he has appeared in Perfect Age, God 2.0, Zapruder (The Original Print), Infidelity, and The Silence We Carry. He also voiced roles in Doctor Who: Rose Tyler – The Dimension Cannon for Big Finish Audio.
Written and directed by VAULT Creative Arts’ Artistic Director Oli Savage, The Lost Library of Leake Street follows Isla, a teenage girl searching for a Christmas gift for her mother. She stumbles upon a hidden library on Leake Street, where stories are found not in books, but in forgotten objects.
There, she meets Max, the Chief Librarian, and together they embark on a magical journey that explores connection, memory, and the power of storytelling.
Described as a “fairy tale for grown-ups,” the show is recommended for ages 12+ and promises a heart-warming tale of family, loss, and magic.
Oli Savage commented:
“It’s been a really exciting year at VAULT, and we’re thrilled to be rounding that off with a new production of The Lost Library of Leake Street. It’s well on the way to becoming a Christmas classic, particularly for people who are looking for a heart-warming, uplifting way to celebrate the season that’s a bit different to the usual fare. We were thrilled with how well the show was received last year – sell out shows, multiple 5-star reviews. This year, we’re keeping the same tender story, but with some new and improved elements (including a new set, and even some magic). So whether you’re a Lost Library veteran, or it’s your first time, it’s sure to delight!”
Alongside the production, The Glitch will host a range of festive activities throughout December, including carol sing-alongs, board game nights, pub quizzes, and live music. A themed bar will serve seasonal cocktails and mulled wine.
The Lost Library of Leake Street runs from Wednesday 26th November to Sunday 22nd December 2025 at The Glitch, 134 Lower Marsh, London SE1 7AE.
