How do we protect those we love without losing ourselves?
Fantastic rehearsal images are in for Run Sister Run coming to the Arcola Theatre on 7 July, by award-winning playwright Chloë Moss.
Double Telling has announced the long-awaited London premiere of Run Sister Run. Directed by Marlie Haco, the production opens at the Arcola Theatre on 7 July, with previews from 2 July, and runs until 26 July. This sharp yet tender exploration of sisterhood, Run Sister Run follows the entwined lives of Connie and Ursula over four decades as their relationship is tested in profound and unexpected ways.
With wit and compassion, the play draws the past into the present, revealing the lasting impact of the choices that shape us. Directed by Marlie Haco, this new production fuses Moss’ searing dialogue with movement and original music, bringing to life a relationship marked by pain and a deep, enduring affection.
This is “ingeniously structured new writing” (The Stage) that interrogates the tension between nature and nurture, exposing the complex contours of sibling love.
The cast includes Jo Herbert (Connie), Kelly Gough (Ursula), Theo Fraser Steele (Adrian), and Charlie Beaven (Jack).
Double Telling’s Artistic Director Marlie Haco says: “I feel incredibly lucky to be bringing Chloë’s resonant play to the London stage this year. I was immediately struck by its shattering depiction of sisterhood, which cuts right to the heart of what it means to love another person, and at what cost. Run Sister Run is a gift to any director, offering both raw intensity and unexpected humour as it champions the will to survive in a broken system. I can’t wait to share this story with audiences this summer."
