Stranger Things star Linnea Berthelsen stars in Darkling at Birmingham Rep this autumn.

Actors Touring Company & Bush Theatre today announce that international screen star Linnea Berthelsen, will make her UK stage debut in the World Premiere of Darkling by Titas Halder, directed by the acclaimed national touring company’s Olivier-award-winning Artistic Director Matthew Xia. Berthelsen, best known globally for her breakout role as Kali Prasad (008) in Netflix’s worldwide phenomenon Stranger Things, will bring her compelling screen presence to live audiences in the UK for the very first time.

Darkling exposes the human impact of the 1984 Bhopal gas leak disaster. The production weaves memory and trauma into a visceral narrative that serves as a powerful indictment of corporate malpractice. This human story confronts the systemic impact of industrialisation on poorer nations, raising urgent questions about environmental exploitation and the fight for justice in the global South. 

Darkling plays The Door at Birmingham Rep on 30-31 October. Tickets are available at birmingham-rep.co.uk
