Bathsheba Piepe and Luke Neal Complete Cast of Hampstead Theatre's HELLO/GOODBYE

Hampstead Theatre has announced that Shaun Evans and Miranda Raison will be joined by Bathsheba Piepe and Luke Neal to complete the cast of Peter Souter's comedy Hello/Goodbye.

Hello/Goodbye is a modern metropolitan guide to falling in (and out of) love. Directed by Tamara Harvey, Hello/Goodbye sold out Downstairs in 2013 and now makes its move upstairs the Main Stage, opening on 21 January.

It's a new year and Juliet, young, smart, and sassy, has got herself a fresh start in a new flat. But amidst the boxes, there's a strange guy and he is also moving in. He says her agency has messed up and her flat is actually his flat - and he's not leaving. And the real problem is that, well, he's rather gorgeous...

Lighting is designed by by David Holmes, and Sound Design is by Emma Laxton.
