BBC announces cast for major new drama series Dope Girls
"Filming has begun on #DopeGirls for BBC One @bbciplayer
The series is inspired by a forgotten time in history when, after the losses of World War One, the streets of Soho were home to female gangs running the clubs, drugs and moonshine…
Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown) stars as Kate Galloway, a single mother who establishes a nightclub amidst the hedonistic uproar of post-World War One London, embracing a life of criminal activities with the dedicated aim of providing for her daughter Evie, played by Eilidh Fisher (The Power). This is where we find Billie Cassidy played by Umi Myers (Bob Marley One Love), a bohemian dancer whose life is turned upside down by Kate’s arrival.
Geraldine James (Anne with an E) will also star as Isabella, the leader of the criminal Salucci family that also includes Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper) as Silvio Salucci and Rory Fleck Bryne (This Is Going To Hurt), Dustin Demri-Burns (Slow Horse).
Eliza Scanlen (Little Women) will play Violet Davies, one of the first wave of female officers for the Metropolitan Police, who is assigned to go undercover and investigate the illicit world of underground Soho nightclubs."
