The Cast of Players was a free, spectacular night-time projection-mapped show at National Trust Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland that ran in March 2026. The show, which involved more than two years making 300 portraits of local people and pets, was projected onto the Hall's north front, reimagining it as a magical toy theatre. The projection and music was created by Illuminos.
