Our full company has been announced for Stephanie Street’s new play a small and quiet light, which has its premiere at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre from 21 August – 12 September. Due to public demand for tickets, an extra 16 seats have been added for all performances, with the play being staged in the round.
Directed by Elin Schofield, in a co-production with the Orange Tree Theatre, a small and quiet light is based on the extraordinary life of the WW2 agent Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan, who was the first female radio operator to be sent undercover into France (from RAF Tangmere, just outside Chichester).
Joining Priyanga Burford (The Vortex CFT, The Seagull Barbican, An Enemy of the People West End – Olivier nomination, Steeltown Murders) as Noor are: Kiah Arya (making her professional debut); Léa des Garets (George Criterion Theatre, Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare’s Globe); Caoilfhionn Dunne (TV’s How To Get To Heaven from Belfast, Industry); Amanda Hadingue (The Tempest Shakespeare’s Globe, Drive Your Plow Complicité); Tripti Tripuraneni (After the Flood, The Cherry Orchard ETT); and Paksie Vernon (The Narcissist CFT, People Places and Things National Theatre).
