West End Cast for Till the Stars Come Down Revealed

The company has been revealed for the National Theatre’s acclaimed production of Till the Stars Come Down, which is set to return to the West End at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2025.

About Till the Stars Come Down

Beth Steel's play, which first premiered at the National Theatre's Dorfman Theatre in early 2024, received widespread praise for its emotional portrayal of a family's dynamics during a wedding in a former mining town. The production explores themes of love, conflict, and reconciliation, making it one of the most talked-about shows of 2024.

Steel initially began developing Till the Stars Come Down as a writer-in-residence at the National Theatre’s New Work Department. The play was later nominated for Best New Play at the 2024 Olivier Awards. Directed by Bijan Sheibani, the production continues to resonate with audiences for its powerful storytelling.
