Full cast and creative team revealed for 'Firewing'

Set in cabin by a lake, deep in the English countryside, the play follows wildlife photographer Tim as he prepares to welcome apprentice Marcus, in the hopes of capturing the elusive Firewing.

The full cast and creative team has been revealed for the world premiere of David Pearson’s debut play Firewing at Hampstead Theatre in London. Performances begin on 17 April, running through 23 May.

Set in cabin by a lake, deep in the English countryside, the play follows wildlife photographer Tim as he prepares to welcome apprentice Marcus, in the hopes of capturing the elusive Firewing.

Charlie Beck (Gentlemen, The Breach) will play Marcus and Gerard Horan (Jerusalem, Detectorists) will play Tim.

Alice Hamilton, Associate Director and Head of Artistic Development at Hampstead Theatre, said: “With Firewing, David has given us a rich and delicate portrait of hope, frailty and the power of human connection. It is a play that is bursting with heart and humour and I feel incredibly lucky to be bringing it to the stage with these two brilliant actors.”

Firewing will be designed by Good Teeth with lighting design by Jamie Platt and sound design by Harry Blake.
