DAPHNE CAST ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎭✨
We’re so excited to introduce you to our Daphne du Maurier: Emma Stansfield.
You may have seen Emma on stage at the National Theatre, the Donmar Warehouse, Park Theatre or on TV in The Crown, The Salisbury Poisonings and Beyond Paradise. Now she takes to the Northcott stage, leading our next Made by Exeter Northcott production.
“Emma Stansfield is a first-class actress, with a formidable body of work across stage and screen, she is the perfect woman to bring Daphne to life. What makes Emma so right for the role is not only her exceptional range, intelligence and emotional courage, but also her deep connection to this part of the world. As an actress who lives in the South West, Emma intrinsically understands what it is to live, work and tell stories here. I cannot imagine a more exciting actress to lead us into Daphne’s world.” – Martin Berry, Director
Don’t miss your chance to see Emma take on the role of one of Britain’s greatest writers in this incredible South West drama.👇
