It's time to meet the full cast of the new production celebrating the 30th anniversary of Sebastian Faulks' epic First World War story of love and loss.

Joining Max Bowden (EastEnders) as Jack Firebrace, James Esler (Litvinenko) as Stephen Wraysford and Charlie Russell (The Goes Wrong Show, And Then There Were None) as Isabelle Azaire are Joseph Benjamin Baker as Evans/Levi, Raif Clarke as Tipper, James Findlay as Brennan, Dave Fishley as Turner, Gracie Follows as Lisette, Sulin Hasso as Marguerite, Tama Phethean as Shaw/LeBrun, Natalie Radmall-Quirke as Jeanne, Roger Ringrose as Bérard/Barclay and Sargon Yelda as René Azaire/Gray.

In pre-war France, young Englishman Stephen Wraysford embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their world upside down. As war violently interrupts the idyll of his former life, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through the sprawling tunnels that lie deep underground. Faced with the unprecedented horror of war, he clings to the memory of Isabelle as his world explodes around him.

Birdsong, which tells the story of one man’s journey through an all-consuming love affair and into the horror of the First World War, is adapted by Rachel Wagstaff and directed by Original Theatre’s Artistic Director Alastair Whatley. Design is by Richard Kent, Lighting by Jason Taylor, Music Composition by Sophie Cotton, Sound by Dominic Bilkey and Casting by Ellie Collyer-Bristow (CDG).
