Cast Announced For World Premiere Of Comic Psychological Thriller ‘Mites’
Claire has been announced as part of the cast of new bleakly comic, psychological thriller Mites. A three-hander absurdist piece written by James Mannion, the play is a sinister exploration of the manipulation which can underpin relationships, and especially considers the impact of this upon the mentally vulnerable in society. It is produced by Blue Leaf Theatre and will be directed by Marcus Marsh, running at the Tristan Bates Theatre from October 7th to 26th.
A lonely woman, abandoned by her husband, lives in an isolated house with her outspoken, anthropomorphic cat, Bartholomew. One day she is visited by Ken, a Pest Controller, who claims to be her ex-husband returned to her. Deceived by his lies and obsessed with memories of the past, the woman accepts Ken into her life, despite the sceptical protestations of Bartholomew. As her self-deception grows and Ken's true intentions become clear, how will she survive the competitive machinations of her two male companions? And is there more to Bartholomew than meets the eye.
Claire plays character Ruth opposite Richard Henderson (Cursed, Netflix; Impact, Edinburgh Fringe) as Bartholomew and George Howard as Ken (Votes for Women, New Vic; The Comedy of Errors, UK tour).
