So good to see and more to come I am sure! Incredibly exciting to find out more about the play and Damien's character, after the months we've known about it.
The set behind looks interesting.... is that a bedroom?
The new photos show Damien very much centre stage alongside Olivia Vinall as the two lead cast. The pair are joined by Anthony Calf (Jerry), Jonathan Coy (Leo), Vera Chok (Bo), Lucy Robinson (Ursula), Rosie Hilal (Julia) and Parth Thakerar (Amal).
The play’s main focus is on a young psychology researcher at a brainscience institute (Hilary) who is grappling with the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness. In the process she finds herself at odds with her colleagues who include her first mentor Spike, her boss Leo and the billionaire founder of the institute, Jerry.
The Hard Problem opened for previews last week with a string of press nights beginning tomorrow. After tickets selling out completely in just two days, the production has been extended into May.
Damien can also be seen in cinemas across the world when the play is broadcast with National Theatre Live on 16 April 2015 .
With huge thanks to the National Theatre for kind permission to share the photos.
The Hard Problem has sold out for performances up to 16 April 2015, but returned tickets become available often daily, check the National Theatre website regularly!
‘Day tickets’ are also available, but have to be bought in person, on the day of the performance. More info on day tickets here
Tickets for the newly extended performances beyond 16 April into May go on sale to the general public 8.30 am (UK) 12 February, earlier for National Theatre members. For more info click here

He is absolutely shiny! Such gorgeous photos. I agree Rosie, I'm trying to piece together the story from the pictures. And just how many beds are on this set?! Press night tomorrow, so excited to hear more and more!

pleasing that the production photos show Damien as appearing to be a joint lead in the play - Whats On Stage described Damien and Olivia Vinall as the leads. We did not know anything at all about his character for a long while and now we have a name and a visual.
Well done for getting those pics, domino.....and thanks for posting them! Lovely!
I noticed that Damien has been refered to as a lead alongside Olivia Vinall...and the pics certainly look that way. Although it's no surprise - if he's on the stage then he's predictably going to draw attention.......
The Rex features photo I posted above takes my breath away - looks like such a natural laugh... and makes me wish the reviews would focus less on Damo's Hard Abdomen and more on his acting talents!
