Katerina Tannenbaum, Paksie Vernon and Anna Popplewell have been cast in Anna Ziegler’s play The Wanderers, which will have its UK premiere at the Marylebone Theatre in October.
Following an Off-Broadway run at Roundabout Theatre Company in 2023, the new production will be directed by Igor Golyak (Our Class), with production design by Jan Pappelbaum.
Abe is a prizewinning novelist living in Brooklyn with a devoted wife, two children, and what looks like a charmed existence. But he’s plagued by a quiet suspicion: What if he’s living the wrong life? His wife Sophie, also a writer, is trying to hold their marriage together while managing her own disappointments. When Abe begins an unexpected email correspondence with a famous actress, he finds himself pulled into a connection that awakens something in him he can’t quite explain.
Across the city, Esther and Schmuli — newly married members of a Hasidic Jewish community — are beginning a life bound by tradition. But as Esther dares to imagine something more, both couples find themselves confronting the same essential questions: Can we rewrite the stories we’ve been told? Or are we forever shaped by the ones we’ve inherited?
Tannenbaum (And Just Like That) plays Esther, with Vernon (People, Places & Things) as Sophie and Popplewell (The Chronicles of Narnia) as Julia Cheever.
The Wanderers is produced by Sarig Peker of Grapevine Shoot Productions & Keren Misgav of Norel Productions.
It runs at the Marylebone Theatre from October 17 – November 29, 2025. Tickets here.
