The full casting has been announced for the UK premiere of Kate Attwell's Testmatch at Orange Tree Theatre.

Diane Page will direct Aiyana Bartlett (India Two and Daanya), Aarushi Ganju (India One and Messenger), Haylie Jones (England Three and Two), Tanya Katyal (India Three and Abhi), Bea Svistunenko (England One and One) and Mia Turner (England Two and Memsahib). 

Testmatch opens at the Orange Tree on 24 April and runs until 18 May, with previews from 24 April and will then tour to Octagon Theatre Bolton from 24 May until 1 June, with previews from 23 May.

Diane Page said today, "I'm really excited to be directing the UK premiere of Kate Attwell's play Testmatch and to be back again at the Orange Tree.

"I'm looking forward to working on the play with our fantastic cast and team, and to sharing it with audiences in both Richmond and Bolton."

The play follows The Women's Cricket World Cup: England versus India.

There's a rain delay. Stuck in the same locker room together, tensions mount, ambitions are laid bare and a whole new tactical game begins.

Calcutta, 1800. Two British administrators encounter challenges on the field of play that threaten the entire regime.

In this game of integrity and power, past and present collide.
