John Burgess will direct a cast that also includes Georgina Rich, with further casting to be announced.

The play is described in press materials as a darkly comic glimpse into the way we live now that asks how we have allowed it to come to this. What do stand-up, being a proud father, therapy and adoption have in common? They’re all different ways of feeling good about yourself. But what happens if this is not enough?

Daniels has had many plays produced at the Royal Court, including Ripen Our Darkness, Masterpieces, The Devil’s Gateway, Byrthrite, Beside Herself and The Madness of Esme and Shaz. She has also had Neaptide and Dust both produced at the National.

Director Burgess was co-founder of the National Theatre Studio and Head of New Writing at the National Theatre from 1989-1994, where his productions have also included Serjeant Musgrave’s Dance, Antigone and The Prince of Homburg.
