Full cast includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Guy Burgess, Clare Burt, Seb Carrington, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Derek Hagen, Lennie James, Ukweli Roach and Ria Zmitrowicz.

🗓️ February
Jo and Harry are changing.

“We should all be allowed to be more eccentric”

Get to know Morfydd Clark better in this insightful piece for The Observer and then come see her live in both Roots and Look Back in Anger 👇

Whether playing a creepy nurse in Bafta-nominated Saint Maud, or ethereal Galadriel in The Rings of Power, Morfydd Clark’s ability to bring an other-worldly quirkiness to roles is unmatched. Tim Lewis meets the Welsh actor who bewitched her way to stardom by embracing her eccentricities
