JUNIPER BLOOD
Mike Bartlett’s powerful new play explores the true cost of pursuing our ideals in an imperfect world.

The Donmar Warehouse has revealed fantastic rehearsal photos for the world premiere of Juniper Blood on 26 August, with previews from 16 August. Mike Bartlett’s new play, directed by James Macdonald was announced as part of the venue’s 2025/26 season.
“Dreams.
You don’t compromise on those.”
Lip and Ruth have left the city behind for a new life on a farm; trying to live differently, live better. But when Ruth’s stepdaughter and her provocative best friend arrive, this quiet rural project is thrown into chaos, as conflicting visions of the future come crashing into the present.
James Macdonald directs an outstanding cast including Terique Jarrett who plays Femi, Hattie Morahan plays Ruth, Nadia Parkes plays Milly, Jonathan Slinger plays Tony and Sam Troughton plays Lip.
