With the critically acclaimed revival of Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel currently playing, Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch have announced three new plays for Autumn 2025/26 at Donmar Warehouse, including two world premieres.
Following Intimate Apparel will be the world premiere of Juniper Blood, 16 August - 4 October, a new play by Mike Bartlett exploring the true cost of pursuing ideals in an imperfect world. James Macdonald returns to the Donmar to direct Terique Jarrett, Hattie Morahan, Nadia Parkes, Jonathan Slinger and Sam Troughton.
Following his critically acclaimed Olivier and Tony Award winning reimagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Kip Williams makes his Donmar debut with the world premiere of his bold new translation of Jean Genet’s The Maids – 13 October - 29 November 2025, which he also directs.
Finally, Sheader directs a revival of J.B. Priestley’s comedy When We Are Married, 6 December 2025 - 7 February 2026, with a cast including Siobhan Finneran, Samantha Spiro, Sophie Thompson and Marc Wootton.
Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said, “We are delighted to share the details of the next three shows coming up at the Donmar. Led by UK and international artists at the top of their game, the season brings three fabulous stories to life, inviting audiences into our powerfully intimate space to be transported together. We want to ensure that younger audiences will always be able to access our work, and we are therefore continuing our commitment to offering thousands of £20 tickets for audiences aged 35 and under across these three new productions as well as working with 6,000 local young people this year through our Donmar LOCAL programme”.
