The team consists of Suzanne Heathcote as the adapter, Christopher Haydon as the director, Tom Piper as the set and costume designer, Ayse Tashkiran as the movement director, Joshua Carr as the lighting designer, Eamonn O’Dwyer as the composer, Carolyn Downing as the sound designer, Sam Jones CDG as the casting director, Haruka Kuroda as the fight director, and Emma Denson as the assistant director.

Olivier Award nominee Marisha Wallace has recorded the title song for the production, which features in the play.

Ishiguro said: "I’m filled with excitement by news of the upcoming production of Never Let Me Go.

"Suzanne Heathcote is a superb writer for both stage and screen.

"Christopher Haydon directed a beautiful adaptation of my The Remains of the Day not long ago.

"And the arrival of this new version of Never Let Me Go feels particularly well-timed."

He added: "Its central question - How do we find and hold onto love in a world ruled by out-of-control science and savage hierarchical structures? - feels even more haunting today than when I wrote the novel twenty years ago.

"I look forward to discovering how this wonderfully talented team will re-imagine the story for the stage and for our time."

Christopher Haydon, artistic director, who directs the production, said: "Never Let Me Go has been among my favourite novels since I first read it two decades ago.

"It is an achingly beautiful story of how we maintain hope, and continue to love in the face of a hostile world.

"It’s become one of the world’s best-loved novels and has all of the elements of a great piece of theatre."

The production will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, October 29, to Saturday, November 2.

Tickets can be purchased on the Malvern Theatres website.
