Eileen Atkins and Sebastian Croft to star in 4000 Miles at Chichester Festival Theatre
Eileen Atkins and Sebastian Croft are to lead the cast of 4000 Miles at Chichester Festival Theatre this summer.
Announced as part of the venue’s new 2023 season, Amy Herzog’s drama will run 4 May – 10 June directed by Richard Eyre.
Eileen Atkins (Cranford, Doc Martin, The Crown) will star as Vera with Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper) as Leo.
The cast is completed by Nell Barlow (Sweetheart) and Elizabeth Chu (Much Ado About Nothing).
Late one night, 21-year-old Leo arrives without warning at his grandmother’s Manhattan apartment – the furthest point on a momentous bike ride across America.
Vera is 91 and lives alone, her independence undimmed by the challenges of modern living. Baffled by each other at first, this odd couple slowly edge across the distance between them.
4000 Miles will have set and costume design by Peter McKintosh, lighting design by Peter Mumford, sound design by John Leonard, and casting by Ginny Schiller CDG.
