### *Touching The Void* West End cast announced
Following sell-out runs at the **Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh**, the **Bristol Old Vic**, and the **Royal & Derngate in Northampton**, the critically-acclaimed stage play *Touching The Void* is set to premiere in London's West End on 9 November for a 16-week run that is **booking until 29 February 2020**.
Today it was confirmed that original cast members **Josh Williams** (*One Night in Miami*), **Patrick McNamee** (*The History Boys*) and **Fiona Hampton** (*Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeare's Globe*) will be reprising their roles as Joe, Richard, and Sarah respectively.
The trio will be joined by newcomer **Angus Yellowlees**, who is set to portray the role of Simon, marking his professional stage debut.
### *Touching The Void* play synopsis
Adapted by **David Grieg** from **Joe Simpson**'s gripping memoir, this tear-jerking play tells the tale of Simpson's seemingly innocent mountaineering trip in the Peruvian Andes gone horribly wrong. After suffering a broken right leg and other severe injuries, Simpson was thought to have perished after falling into a crevasse. His survival instincts kicked in, however, as he managed to crawl back to base camp.
