Across the performance run, cast members Joan Iyiola and Ashley Zhangazha will share the role of Sinuhe, with a game played on stage at the start of each performance dictating who will play the role in that show.
The production is directed by Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah with an in-the-round stage design by acclaimed architect Sir David Adjaye.
