Writer Rosie Day previously performed the show herself; now she passes on the baton to Charithra Chandran for the play's West End run. Chandran captivated audiences as husband-seeking debutante Edwina Sharma in the second season of Netflix’s Regency-era romantic romp Bridgerton, and she now makes her West End debut with this powerful monologue.

She made her screen debut aged four in the BBC’s Hope and Glory, and performed at the National Theatre and Royal Court as a child and a teenager. On screen, she is best known for playing Mary Hawkins in Outlander. The production is directed by Georgie Straight, associate director of Operation Mincemeat (Fortune Theatre).
