Harry Lister Smith (acclaimed UK breakthrough film God's Own Country and A Woman of No Importance in the West End) is announced as final casting in Tumulus, a fast-paced thriller (inspired by a true story) transferring to Soho Theatre from 16 April to 4 May.


Harry Lister Smith joins the previously announced Ian Hallard (The Boys in the Band, Vaudeville and Park Theatre) and Ciarán Owens (The Last Kingdom on Netflix,  Candide, RSC), who were in the original production at VAULT 2018, winner of an Origins Award for Outstanding New Work.


Tumulus is a sharp and witty modern thriller with all of the ingredients of a nail-biting murder mystery - a troubled detective, lying witnesses, spurned lovers and red-herrings.


Three actors play over 40 roles between them, creating digitally generated voices and orchestrating live foley sound effects.


There will be post show discussions on Saturday 20 and 27 April at 4pm presented in association with world-leading sexual health clinic 56 Dean Street and Outside Edge Theatre Company - the UK's only theatre company focused on substance use and addiction.


Note that the show contains sexual and drug references - suitable for audiences 16 years and over.


Tumulus is produced by Paul Casey Productions and Outside Edge Theatre Company and supported by Arts Council England and Royal Victoria Hall Foundation.
