New production images have been released as acclaimed actress Tuppence Middleton joins the critically acclaimed cast of The Years for the final five weeks of its run at the Harold Pinter Theatre, finishing on 19 April 2025.
The production has been nominated for five Olivier Awards, including Best New Play, Best Direction, Best Sound Design, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
Adapted and directed by Eline Arbo, The Years is based on Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux’s Les Années.
Tuppence Middleton, known for The Motive and The Cue, Mank, and Downton Abbey, began performances in Eline Arbo’s five-star adaptation of The Years earlier this week. She took over the role from Romola Garai, who closed out her tenure on 8 March with an Olivier nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
In addition to Garai’s nomination, Gina McKee received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, Thijs van Vuure for Best Sound Design, and Arbo for Best Direction. The production was also nominated for the prestigious Best New Play award.
Having previously run to critical acclaim at both the Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and the Almeida Theatre, The Years continues to captivate audiences at the Harold Pinter Theatre and will run until 19 April 2025.
Deborah Findlay, Gina McKee, Anjli Mohindra, and Harmony Rose-Bremner continue their “extraordinary performances” (Observer) playing one woman in this mesmerizing, personal, and political story set against the backdrop of our rapidly changing world.
“MEMORY NEVER STOPS. IT PAIRS THE DEAD WITH THE LIVING, REAL WITH IMAGINARY BEINGS, DREAMS WITH HISTORY.”
The original production and adaptation of The Years was first produced as De Jaren by Het Nationale Theater in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2022.
The creative team includes Music Supervisor and Sound Designer Thijs van Vuure, Set Designer Juul Dekker, Costume Designer Rebekka Wörmann, Lighting Designer Varja Klosse, Casting Director Amy Ball CDG, and Associate Director Yasmin Hafesji.
