The cast of the National Theatre's 2017 revival of Tony Kushner's landmark work features Garfield playing Prior Walter, Denise Gough playing Harper Pitt, Lane playing Roy Cohn, James McArdle playing Louis Ironson and Tovey playing Joe Pitt.

The production is directed by Olivier and Tony award-winner Marianne Elliott (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, War Horse, Husbands & Sons).
