The Old Globe has announced complete casting for the U.S. premiere of Alan Ayckbourn’s new comedy, Life of Riley, to be presented April 30-June 5, with an opening on May 5. Richard Seer will direct.

In the play, George Riley’s closest friends discover that he has just a few months to live and they each deal with the news in their own very surprising way. George has deeply affected each of their lives, and he is now plotting one last final farewell, which could upset all of their futures.

The cast will feature David Bishins (Simeon), Ray Chambers (Jack), Rebecca Gold (Tilly), Dana Green (Tamsin), Colin McPhillamy (Colin), Henny Russell (Kathryn) and Nisi Sturgis (Monica).

The creative team will include Robert Morgan (scenic and costume design), Chris Rynne (lighting design), and Paul Peterson (sound design).
