Ewan McGregor plots a much anticipated West End return as he heads to the Wyndham's Theatre in spring 2025 to star in this brand-new play by Lila Raicek. His first time back on the London stage in 17 years, My Master Builder reunites the Star Wars actor with director Michael Grandage. McGregor enthuses: "It's such a thrill be returning to the stage and to work with Michael again, an actor's director with whom I have had some of my happiest working experiences." Expect something big as My Master Builder (inspired by Henrik Ibsen's classic drama The Master Builder) takes to the stage, beginning performances in April.

Imelda Staunton makes a welcome stage return in 2025, alongside her daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) in George Bernard Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession. Once banned for three decades under Lord Chamberlin, Shaw intended the play to address prostitution in the era, and to: "draw attention to the truth that prostitution is caused, not by female depravity and male licentiousness, but simply by underpaying, undervaluing and overworking women", as played out when Vivie Warren (Carter) returns home from university to discover her mother Kitty's (Staunton) true profession as a brothel madam.
