The cast and creative team of LYONESSE.
The searingly funny and passionate new play stars Kristin Scott Thomas and Lily James alongside James Corrigan, Doon Mackichan and Sara Powell.
What is LYONESSE about?
Kristin Scott Thomas takes on the role of Elaine, a reclusive and talented actress, who disappears in mysterious circumstances. Now 30 years later, it's finally time for her to tell her story. She summons a young film executive, played by Lily James, to her remote Cornish home to assist her with making the comebacks of all comebacks.
But who really controls the stories we tell, and how we get to tell them? Will these women own their narrative, or will it be swept away from them at any given moment?

LYONESSE will perform at Harold Pinter Theatre from 17 October 2023 until 23 December 2023.
