Hampstead Names Full Cast for Stoppard's Jumpers Revival
Hampstead Theatre has set its full cast for Tom Stoppard's Jumpers.
Rhea Norwood will play Dorothy opposite James Corrigan as George. The revival, a new staging of an older play, is directed by Blanche McIntyre, as reported by WhatsOnStage.
Dates are fixed. The production runs on the main stage from 25 November 2026 to 23 January 2027. Press night is 7 December, the performance set aside for critics to review.
That puts press night just under two weeks into the run. The show then continues through Christmas and into the new year. The slot gives audiences a clear window to book across the festive period.
The line-up is set. Jude Akuwudike will play Crouch. Tim McMullan will play Archie, with Scarlett Stitt as Secretary and Jason Thorpe as Inspector Bones.
Those six actors lead the company. They were named together in the theatre's full casting announcement. Each takes one of the billed principal roles.
Eight performers will appear as the jumpers. They are Joshua Arkey, Alex Anthony Fevrier, Nick Godfrey, Alex Houston, Laura Kenyon, Ocean Navarro, Dominic Owen and Miguel Torres Umba. The eight complete the on-stage company for the run.
The creative team is also confirmed. Robert Innes Hopkins is the designer, in charge of the look of the set and costumes. Guy Hoare is lighting designer and George Dennis is sound designer, with music from composer Tim Sutton.
Ian William Galloway is video designer. Tim Claydon leads movement and circus direction, covering the physical side of the show. Anna Cooper is casting director and Jess Barton is assistant director.
Hampstead first unveiled the production on 11 June 2026 alongside three premieres, according to Hampstead Theatre. It is described as the first revival of Jumpers in 20 years, according to West End Theatre. Stoppard is credited as the writer.
What makes this stand out is the gap. Twenty years is a long time for a well-known play to sit without a new major staging. For audiences following the announcement now, it is a straightforward chance to watch that staging take shape from casting to press night.
