Shakespeare’s Globe announced the cast for the 2025 run of Rough Magic, directed by Director of Education Lucy Cuthbertson and co-written by Splendid Production’s Artistic Director Kerry Frampton and Associate Director Ben Hales. Following a nomination for Best Family Show at the 2025 Olivier Awards, Rough Magic returns this summer, running in the indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse from 19 July – 23 August.
The returning cast comprises Rosemarie Akwafo as Nona, Janet Etuk as Morai, Kerry Frampton as Henry IX, and Bryony Twydle as Audeja, while Amy Revelle will join the company for the 2025 run as Cover.
Director Lucy Cuthbertson says: “I’m thrilled we’re bringing Rough Magic back after its Olivier nomination earlier this year. We can’t wait to introduce audiences of all ages to Shakespeare’s supernatural world, especially our weird sisters, who are still trying to recover following the recent, unfortunate ‘Macbeth incident’.
“Our brilliant cast are ready to bring ghosts, spirits, fairies, witches, monsters, and plenty of magic to the Sam
Wanamaker Playhouse as we continue our commitment to making top-quality theatre for younger audiences. And older audiences too. It’s genuinely a show for anyone.”
