The cast of The Brightening Air also includes Derbhle Crotty (Portia Coughlan), Eimhin Fitzgerald Doherty (Juno and the Paycock) and Aisling Kearns (Juno and the Paycock), as well as understudies Ella Maria Carmen, Callum Cronin, Joseph McCarthy and Amy Vicary-Smith. Set and costume design is by Rae Smith, lighting by Mark Henderson, sound by Gregory Clarke, movement and intimacy by Lucy Hind, casting by Serena Hill, voice by Charlie Hughes-D’Aeth, dialect by Danièle Lydon and fight direction by Kate Waters. The associate director is Anastasia Osei-Kuffour, associate set designer is Niall McKeever, the costume supervisor is Poppy Hall, the props supervisor is Fahmida Bakht and the music associate is Benjamin McQuigg.
