Joining them in Adam Penford’s production will be James Backway, Tom Chapman, Isabella Dempster (as the young Briony), Yanexi Enriquez, Debra Gillett, Gabin Kongolo, Natasha Magigi and Jonathan Oliver.

Dame Siân Phillips makes a welcome return to Chichester as the older Briony Tallis. Her distinguished leading roles on stage include her Olivier and Tony Award-nominated Marlene Dietrich in Marlene, Olivier-nominated Fraulein Schneider in Cabaret, and recently Under Milk Wood at the National Theatre; and on screen, her BAFTA Award-winning Livia in I, Claudius and many guest appearances in series from Lewis and Keeping Faith to Silent Witness.

Miriam Petche plays Cecilia; known to an international TV audience as Sweetpea Golightly in the HBO/BBC series Industry, her screen credits also include the forthcoming Believe Me. 

Jasper Talbot plays Robbie, returning to Chichester where he played Mick Jagger in Redlands for which he was nominated for The Stage Debut Award; since then his stage credits include Inter Alia at the National Theatre and The Line of Beauty at the Almeida.
