Full casting has been announced for the Donmar Warehouse‘s production of Simon Gray’s The Late Middle Classes, which, as previously reported, will run May 27-July 17. David Leveaux will direct.

The play focuses on a young boy trapped between two types of oppressive love, which reveals the frustration, secrets and guilt of middle class respectability in 1950s England.

The company will feature Helen McCrory (Celia), Eleanor Bron (Ellie), Robert Glenister (Brownlow), and Peter Sullivan (Charles). The role of Holly will be played at alternate performances by Laurence Belcher, Harvey O’Neil and Felix Zadek-Ewing.

The creative team will include Mike Britton (production design), Hugh Vanstone (lighting design), Corin Buckeridge (original music), and Simon Baker for Autograph (sound design).
