An exciting array of young and upcoming stars have been cast alongside Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave in Man In An Orange Shirt – the first screen drama from best-selling British novelist Patrick Gale.
Julian Morris (New Girl, Felt), James McArdle (The Worricker Trilogy, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), Joanna Vanderham (One of Us, The Go Between), Oliver Jackson Cohen (Mr Selfridge, Emerald City), and David Gyasi (Containment, Interstellar) star alongside Redgrave in the two-part drama which tells two love stories, 60 years apart - stories linked by family, and by a painting that holds a secret that echoes down the generations.
The series will be directed by Michael Samuels (Any Human Heart), produced by Lisa Osborne (Little Dorrit) and made by Kudos for BBC One.
