As previously speculated, Two-time Tony winner Nathan Lane will appear in the National Theatre’s 2017 revival of Angels in America. Also added to the roster are Susan Brown, James McArdle and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, who join Andrew Garfield, Denise Gough and Russell Tovey.

Brown, who’s known for her myriad London stage credits and her role of Septa Mordane in Game of Thrones, will play Hannah. McArdle has been tapped to play Louis; his previous credits include Platonov, Ivanov and The James Plays. Stewart-Jarret, who has appeared on stage previously in The History Boys and Wig Out, will play Belize.
