Anna Crilly is to co-star in a new play.

Never Not Once, by the award-winning American playwright Carey Crim, is a poignant and emotionally gripping drama about what happens when a family is forced to confront an unexpected and explosive answer to the question “Where do I come from?”

College student Eleanor on a trip home to see her two moms, unexpectedly announces she has decided to try to find her biological father. Her birth mother has long insisted she was the product of a drunken one-night stand with an anonymous fellow undergraduate. Unsatisfied with that story, Eleanor decides to hire a detective, and the investigation leads to a cascade of painful revelations.

Never Not Once is the winner of the 2017 Jane Chambers Playwriting Award, which recognizes new feminist plays and performance texts created by women and genderqueer writers and a finalist for the 2018 Eugene O’Neill Award.

Anna Crilly played deadpan Eastern-European housekeeper Magda in Jack Dee's sitcom ‘Lead Balloon’. Other recent credits include ‘Horrible Histories: The Movie’, ‘The Harry Hill Sitcom’ and ‘Succession’ for HBO. She featured in ‘Witless’ for the BBC, and stars as Cath in ‘The Rebel’, a comedy series for UKTV Gold, with Anita Dobson and Amit Shah. With Katy Wix, Anna had her own Channel Four sketch show ANNA & KATY and co-starred in a play, The Half, to the Edinburgh Festival and the VAULT Festival in London.
