The Donmar Warehouse has revealed the full cast for its upcoming revival of J.B. Priestley’s much-loved comedy, When We Are Married. Directed by Tim Sheader, the production opens on 17 December with previews from 6 December, promising an evening of laughter, farce, and heartfelt revelations.
Joining the previously announced Siobhan Finneran, Samantha Spiro, Sophie Thompson, and Marc Wootton are Tori Allen-Martin, Ron Cook, Janice Connolly, John Hodgkinson, Jim Howick, Reuben Joseph, Rowan Robinson, and Leo Wringer. The stellar ensemble brings together some of London theatre’s finest performers, ensuring a dynamic revival of Priestley’s classic play.
Set in Yorkshire, When We Are Married follows three couples celebrating their joint silver wedding anniversaries. What begins as a glittering evening of champagne and ceremony turns into a farcical exploration of long-buried secrets, simmering resentments, and the possibility of new beginnings. The play’s timeless humour and sharp social commentary continue to captivate audiences, making it a perfect addition to London’s vibrant theatre scene this festive season.
Artistic Director Tim Sheader leads a creative team including set designer Peter McKintosh, costume designer Anna Fleischle, lighting designer Ryan Day, and composer Will Stuart. The Donmar Warehouse’s reputation for inventive productions and intimate staging promises a memorable experience for theatre-goers.
For musical theatre enthusiasts and fans of London theatre alike, this revival blends comedy, heart, and brilliant performances, making it one of the must-see productions of the winter season.
