The full cast for new play Heartsink has been revealed, with Aden Gillet, Vikash Bhai and Megan Marszal leading the Riverside Studios production.
Written by former GP Farine Clarke, Heartsink is a new bittersweet medical comedy directed by Sean Turner.
“After years in practice seeing through a doctors’ eyes, I find myself on a crash-course as the patient, the view isn’t quite so attractive from this side, you’d be surprised to know.”
For GP Jeffrey Longford, serious illness turns his faith in the medical fraternity inside out. Crossing the divide from confident clinician to frightened patient, challenges his professional certainties at every turn — from the way individuals are labelled by their conditions, to the ethical faultlines surrounding assisted dying.
Gillet plays Dr Jeffrey Longford, with Bhai as Dr Roofi and Marszal as Suzie. They join the previously announced Kathy Kiera Clarke as Cara.
The creative team includes designer Matteo Mastrandrea, lighting designer Chuma Emembolu for Chuma Lighting Design, sound designer Hattie North, casting director Ellie Collyer-Bristow, production manager Thomas Quine, stage manager Em Cox, graphic designer Tom Mann for Ghostlight Studios, videographer Ben Hewis and and photographer Lidia Crisafulli.
Heartsink plays Riverside Studios from April 21 – May 10. Tickets here.
