The full company has been announced for the world premiere of The Pianist. Written and directed by Thom Southerland, the stage adaptation is based on the memoir by Władysław Szpilman, which inspired Roman Polanski’s Academy Award-winning film. As already revealed, Daniel Krikler will lead the production as Szpilman, who was not only a Holocaust survivor but one of Poland’s most celebrated composers and pianists. Southerland spoke about the casting process saying: “We have been searching for exceptional performers who are not only outstanding actors, but accomplished musicians and truly versatile storytellers, capable of meeting the unique demands of this production. The calibre of talent joining us is exceptional, and I cannot wait to begin rehearsals.”
