Suzan Sylvester makes a return to Diane Samuels’s Kindertransport—at the Opera House in Manchester in May—in the role of mother Evelyn having performed as daughter Faith in the 1993 première production.
She will be joined by a cast from across Europe: Hannah Bristow as Faith, Leila Schaus as Eva, Catherine Janke as Helga, Jenny Lee as Lil and Matthew Brown as the Ratcatcher.
Kindertransport is co-produced by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg in association with Selladoor Productions and marks 80 years since the Kindertransport, which saw thousands of Jewish children ferried from Austria and Germany to safety in the UK.
It runs from May 1 to 5.
