I, Daniel Blake premiered at Northern Stage on 25 May to a standing ovation. We have now added dates for the autumn leg of the tour, including a reprise at Northern Stage as the first run of dates in May and June has sold out.

“Many congratulations to Rilwan Abiola Owokoniran on winning the Ian Charleson Award; he was part of an exceptional field of performances this year and we’re very proud our co-production of The Importance of Being Earnest was among the fray. As Algernon Moncrieff he gave a sparkling performance, as did the entire cast, making it such a joyful production.

ETT is committed to providing opportunities for artists at the beginning of their careers, so it’s great to see Abiola thrive.

Well done to all involved in The Importance of Being Earnest, including cast, creatives and director Denzel Westley-Sanderson, for helming such a fantastic production.”

Richard Twyman, Artistic Director & Sophie Scull, Executive producer, ETT

Rehearsals are currently underway for I, Daniel Blake, a co-production with ETT, tiny dragon productions, Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep and Oldham Coliseum in association with Cardboard Citizens.
