Sean Daniels' autobiographical play will be directed by Matt Ryan at the Southwark Playhouse Borough.
The White Chip follows Steven McAlister, who, despite spending more time drunk than sober, has managed to graduate from college, create an extremely successful theatre group, get married, and thrive in a dream job at one of the most prestigious regional theatres in the United States.
Expressed with humour, honesty and compassion, The White Chip explores what it is like living with addiction and coming alive through recovery.
Casting for the production is to be announced. Joining Matt Ryan on the creative team are Designer Lee Newby, Lighting Designer Jamie Platt and Sound Designer Max Pappenheim.
The White Chip will play at the Southwark Playhouse Borough from 9 July - 16 August 2025.
