Richmond's Orange Tree Theatre has released the first production images from Creditors, August Strindberg's darkly comic thriller, which runs from 6 September to 11 October.

The production stars Charles Dance, Geraldine James, and Nicholas Farrell in Howard Brenton's adaptation, directed by the Orange Tree's Artistic Director Tom Littler.

This marks the seventh collaboration between Littler and Brenton, following their acclaimed staging of Churchill in Moscow earlier this year.

Creditors tells the story of Adolf, an artist hopelessly devoted to his new wife, Tekla, who is brilliant, worldly, and dangerously captivating.

When a persuasive stranger arrives at a quiet seaside hotel, the couple's fragile balance begins to unravel. What follows is a chilling yet witty exploration of marriage, manipulation, and revenge.

The play also sees Dance, James, and Farrell reunited on stage for the first time since The Jewel in the Crown.

All three have extensive experience with the Royal Shakespeare Company and impressive screen credits including Game of Thrones, The Crown, Downton Abbey, Anne with an E, The Iron Lady, and Chariots of Fire.

Tickets for Creditors are currently sold out but OT's Friday Rush scheme releases a limited number of £15 standing tickets online at midday each Friday for the following week's shows.
