Producers Strickland Productions have announced casting today for their production Crushed Shells and Mud to be presented at Southwark Playhouse this October.

Casting for the play includes Alexander Arnold, Hannah Britland, Laura Howard, Alex Lawther and Simon Lenegan.

Crushed Shells and Mud is a new play by Bruntwood Playwriting Prize Winner Ben Musgrave. It will be directed by Russell Bolam.

England trembles in the grip of a devastating epidemic. But in a brutally remote coastal village, quiet Derek waits for love and life to really begin. Then Lydia arrives. She burns brightly – incandescently. Beyond Derek’s wildest dreams. And she is hiding something. When Derek discovers her secret – out by a restless sea, they are both propelled into a strange new world of conflicted desire and dangerous loyalties. Where terrifying forces test their courage and humanity. But can love survive the fear inside?

Crushed Shells and Mud runs at Southwark Playhouse from October 1 - 24, 2015.
