Poppy Allen-Quarmby, Luke Nunn and Meg Lewis have been announced as the cast of Tiger, a brand new magical-realist play about losing a dad and gaining a tiger.
When a young couple face the terminal illness and subsequent death of a parent, the burden of grief, guilt and anger becomes too big to process alone. A mysterious and unlikely lodger in the form of Tiger answers an ad for the couple’s spare room, and both helps process the loss, and drives a wedge between them.
Poppy Allen-Quarmby was most recently seen in Makeshifts & Realities, directed by Melissa Dunne at the Finborough Theatre, and features in films Rye Lane (Searchlight / Disney+) and Rebecca (Netflix / Working Title). Luke Nunn’s credits include Father Brown and Casualty (BBC), Disney+ series Pilgrim (working title) and The Last Kingdom (Carnival / Netflix). Meg Lewis (they/she) is an OFFIE nominated actor and writer and an associate artist of Helikon Theatre Company; previous credits include PITCH (Pleasance / November Theatre), String (Omnibus Theatre), and Moon Licks (Paines Plough).
Tiger is the second play by writer and actor Joe Eyre, and makes its full-length debut at Omnibus Theatre in November 2023. Presented in association with Royal Trinity Hospice in Clapham, the show will also host a series of additional events including a Death Café – a free safe space where anyone can come together and share personal experiences of bereavement and loss.
