Olivier-winning play by James Graham 'Dear England' is back and heading to London's National Theatre! Gareth Southgate's transformation of the England men's national football team in the hearts and minds of the nation is celebrated and explored in Dear England!

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.

It's 1997, and the stakes in international diplomacy have never been higher. The impossible is about to become reality in Kyoto, described by Beyond the Curtain as a production that "challenges, questions, and sometimes makes you uncomfortable". It reveals the stark truth of climate politics and brings the intense negotiations of the 1997 Kyoto climate summit to life in a way never seen on stage. After a knock-out premiere in Stratford-upon-Avon, Kyoto now invites you to take a seat at the table for a highly-anticipated 16-week run at London's @sohoplace.

London plays host to a revival of Henrik Ibsen's shocking play Ghosts, at the Lyric Hammersmith. Newly adapted by Welsh playwright Gary Owen and directed by his Romeo and Julie and Iphignia in Splott collaborator Rachel O'Riordan, the revival stars Victoria Smurfit (Once Upon A Time) as Helena and Callum Scott Howells (It's a Sin) as Oz, as well as Patricia Allison (Sex Education) as Reggie. The first Ibsen work to grace the candlelit stage, Ghosts is one of his most divisive. A scathing commentary on morality, its themes of incest, STDs, and euthanasia caused controversy on its 19th-century premiere, yet has since become regarded as one of his finest (if rarely produced) masterworks.
