Meanwhile, Edgar-Jones recently worked alongside Euphoria's Jacob Elordi on a new drama.

Based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl, On Swift Horses follows Muriel (Edgar-Jones) and her new husband Lee (Elordi), who has just returned from the Korean War.

Muriel becomes restless after moving from her rural Kansas home to a dusty San Diego bungalow. However, things change with the arrival of Lee's gambler brother Julius.

After Julius leaves for Las Vegas, Muriel starts to lead a double life, sneaking off to the racetrack to learn the tricks of the gambling trade.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will run from December 10, 2024 to February 1, 2025 at the Almeida Theatre in London.
