Golden Boy: Wednesday 6th January 2027

Josh O’Connor (The Crown; Challengers) leads the cast in this searing revival of Clifford Odets’ knockout American classic. 1930s New York, at the height of the Depression. Joe Bonaparte is a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing. He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.

Brought to life with a live string quartet and filmed live from the Almeida Theatre. Olivier Award-winner Sam Yates (Vanya) directs this propulsive drama exploring ambition, identity, and the high price of success.

  • Hay Fever

    Wednesday, 3rd March

    Emmy and Tony winner Christine Baranski makes her West End debut alongside Academy Award-nominated stage and screen legend Richard E. Grant in Noël Coward’s irresistible comedy.

    Judith Bliss retired from her life-on-stage and she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family are too self-involved to be a good audience. So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses has a guest of their own arriving at the very same time.

    Filmed live from the West End, Emily Burns directs this stinging new production.

  • The Motive and The Cue

    Wednesday, 7th April 2027

    Why would the most famous movie star in the world choose to do a play which everyone already knows? And what lures us back to the same plays, year after year?

    This fierce and funny play by award-winning writer Jack Thorne offers a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity.

    The play revolves around the history behind the 1964 Broadway production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet starring Richard Burton and directed by John Gielgud. As rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.
