Casting has been revealed for the West End transfer of Ava Pickett’s 1536. Performances begin at the Ambassadors Theatre on 2 May.
Reprising their roles from the show's Almeida run are Liv Hill (Three Girls), Siena Kelly (Black Mirror, Adult Material), and Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education, A Mirror).
Margot Robbie's LuckyChap has also joined the producing team. Robbie said: “At LuckyChap, we’re always drawn to bold, female-driven stories, and Ava’s brilliant play is exactly that. We’re absolutely thrilled to be coming on board as co-producers for its West End transfer. The show is fearless, witty and emotionally resonant, and it gives voice to women whose stories still feel timely today. Bringing 1536 to the West End is an incredibly exciting next chapter, and we’re honoured to help champion this phenomenal piece of art.”
Pickett’s first play explores the impact of royal drama on the common folk during Henry VIII's reign and marriage to Anne Boleyn — specifically three as-of-yet unmarried friends, Anna, Jane, and Mariella.
The creative team includes Director Lyndsey Turner, Set and Costume Designer Max Jones, Lighting Designer Jack Knowles, Sound Designer Tingying Dong, Composer and Arranger Will Stuart, and Movement and Intimacy Director Anna Morrissey.
Further casting will be announced in due course.
