Full cast announced for THE ESTATE at the National Theatre

Directed by Daniel Raggett (Accidental Death of an Anarchist), BAFTA-winning actor Adeel Akhtar will lead the production as the ambitious politician Angad. He will be joined by Shelley Conn (Bridgerton) as Malicka, Dinita Gohil (The Father and the Assassin) as Sangeeta, Thusitha Jayasundera (The House of Bernarda Alba) as Gyan, Humphrey Ker (Welcome to Wrexham) as Ralph Hughes, Fode Simbo (Samuel Takes a Break...) as Isaac and Helena Wilson (The Hills of California) as Petra.

The Estate opens with the sudden resignation of the Leader of the Opposition amid scandal. Unexpectedly, Angad Singh rises as the frontrunner to take his place — a chance to make history and bring real change to society. But his path to power comes with one major complication: his outspoken sisters, whose silence might be the key to his success.

The creative team includes set designer Chloe Lamford, costume designer Khadija Raza, lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, composer Asaf Zohar, sound designer Mike Winship, movement director Polly Bennett, fight director Alex Payne, casting director Bryony Jarvis-Taylor CDG and staff director Molly Stacey.

The Estate will play in the National's Dorfman Theatre from 6 July to 23 August 2025.
