The company will comprise Anna Calder-Marshall, Anna Carteret, Roger Evans and Imogen Stubbs.
The production launches the second of the Donmar Trafalgar seasons, promoting the work of the next generation of young directors who have been part of the Donmar Warehouse's annual Resident Assistant Director program.
Salt, Root and Roe revolves around twins Iola and Anest, who remain devoted to each other. Ageing fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest's daughter Menna, who rushes to her long abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit.
According to press materials, the play is a tale of love and family set against the mythical backdrop of North Pembrokeshire.
Calder-Marshall, who plays Iola, previously appeared at the Donmar Warehouse in A Lie of the Mind. Other recent theatre work includes Danger: Memory: I Can’t Remember Anything (Jermyn Street Theatre), The House of Bernarda Alba (Royal Exchange, Manchester), Love (Lyric Hammersmith), A Kind of Alaska (Gate Theatre) and Comfort Me With Apples (Hampstead Theatre).
