The Bit-Players

Southwark Playhouse presents The Bit-Players by José Sanchis Sinisterra, translated from Los Figurantes by William Gregory and adapted with the company. Directed by Pepa Duarte and Sergio Maggiolo.

A group of actors – the Bit-Players of the title – decide it’s time they got the recognition they’ve always deserved, and the roles they were born to play. But in taking radical action to realise their dreams, they might just discover that there are no small parts, only small actors…

The Bit-Players is a comedy of errors and a political call to arms that resonates with a twenty-first century world in perpetual upheaval and in search of a collective identity. Performed in English for the first time, this is a unique opportunity to see this absurdist comic masterpiece by one of Spain’s most celebrated contemporary playwrights.

Cast: Kian Ali, Tiggy Bayley, Ida Ciecholewska, Rosie Dawson, Iskra Everhys,, Renee Gerald, Lawrence Hartley, Fern Jessop, Teigan Macphee, Alex Montagu, Oni Ngonadi, Mya Onwugbonu, Inbal Port, Victoria Relph and Will Sharp.
