A historic Glasgow theatre has announced the cast for its first show in over seven years.
The Citizens Theatre, which has been under redevelopment, will reopen with "Small Acts of Love" later this year.
The new production tells the story of the friendships formed between Lockerbie residents and American relatives after the Pan Am 103 disaster in 1988.
The play, commissioned by artistic director Dominic Hill, was written by playwright Frances Poet and features music by Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross.
Mr Hill said: "To be announcing our cast for Small Acts of Love today is an exciting and pivotal moment in our journey home.

"Ranging from some of the most experienced and well-known actors in Scotland to newly graduated stars of the future, this cast and this production announce the ambition and quality of the new Citizens Theatre.
"With only a few weeks to go until the start of rehearsals, the whole company is preparing to welcome artists and audiences to our fantastic new building for the first time in seven years.”
The play, which premieres on September 12, has been researched in detail and is based on interviews with those affected by the Lockerbie tragedy in both Scotland and the US.
Small Acts of Love follows the journey of two communities brought together by unusual circumstances, spanning 36 years.
The cast of 14 actors will embody the stories of these communities, from established stars to emerging artists, including Ewan Donald, Simon Donaldson, Blythe Duff, Barrie Hunter, Robbie Jack, Beth Marshall, Hilary MacLean, Jayne McKenna, Jo Servi, Naomi Stirrat, Mandi Symonds, Lewis Fleming, Holly Howden-Gilchrist, and Nicholas Marshall.
Blythe returns to the Citizens Theatre following standout performances in Wild Rose at the Lyceum and Escaped Alone at the Tron.
Robbie and Beth both recently appeared in Lockerbie: The Bombing of Pan Am 103, a BBC drama that explores the same real-life events that inspired the production.
The play’s soundtrack, a new composition by Ricky Ross, will be performed live on stage by a five-piece roots band.
The production will be the first in the theatre's new season after the completion of the building's redevelopment.
The Citizens Theatre moved out of its home in Gorbals in June 2018, as work began on the first major redevelopment of the Category B listed building since it became a theatre in 1878.
The play was developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.
