The Unbelievers

‘I love my son. My son is alive.’

A teenager disappears. Time fractures. His mother will never give up hope.

The Unbelievers is a new play about the moments that shatter our world, and the ones that help us piece it back together.

Playwright Nick Payne (Constellations, We Live in Time) returns to the Royal Court with a startling portrait of motherhood, faith, family – and the lengths we go to for those we refuse to forget.

Directed by Marianne Elliott (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Angels in America), designed by Bunny Christie (Company, People Places and Things) and starring Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, The Split). Further casting to be announced.

Presented by Royal Court Theatre and Playful Productions.
