⭐ THE COLLABORATION – YOUNG VIC – CAST & CREATIVES ANNOUNCED ⭐
The Young Vic have announced the complete cast and creative team for The Collaboration, the world premiere of Anthony McCarten’s thrilling new drama, directed by Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah.
As previously announced, multi award-winning actor Paul Bettany (The Avengers, WandaVision) is the iconic Warhol alongside two-time Tony Award nominee Jeremy Pope (Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations) as the magnetic Basquiat, with the complete cast also including Sofia Barclay and Alec Newman.
New York, 1984. Fifty-six-year-old Andy Warhol’s star is falling. Jean-Michel Basquiat is the new wonder-kid taking the art world by storm.

As everyone awaits the ‘greatest exhibition in the history of modern art’, the two artists embark on a shared journey, both artistic and deeply personal, that re-draws both their worlds.
The Collaboration is written by Anthony McCarten, and directed by Kwame Kwei-Armah, with set and costume design by Anna Fleischle, lighting design by Mark Henderson, sound design by Emma Laxton, casting by Isabella Odoffin CDG, projection design by Duncan McLean, composition by Ayanna Witter-Johnson, DJ/VJ by Xana and assistant direction and production dramaturgy by Olivia Nwabali.
