Donmar Warehouse announces further shows including Noel Coward’s Private Lives, the new Jack Thorne play and Next to Normal.
PRIVATE LIVES 7 April – 27 May 2023
Opening the season is Noël Coward’s Private Lives with a cast including Stephen Mangan as Elyot, Rachael Stirling as Amanda, Laura Carmichael as Sibyl and Sargon Yelda as Victor, in a new production directed by Michael Longhurst. A surprise encounter on adjoining hotel balconies rekindles their passion and they fling themselves violently into love once more, and their newly married lives into chaos.
WHEN WINSTON WENT TO WAR WITH THE WIRELESS 2 June – 29 July 2023
This is followed by the world première of award-winning playwright Jack Thorne’s latest play When Winston Went to War with the Wireless directed by Katy Rudd, a gripping and timely examination of the BBC’s independence during the 1926 General Strike.
NEXT TO NORMAL 12 August – 7 October 2023
Having collaborated on Caroline, or Change on Broadway, Longhurst reunites with Caissie Levy, who will play Diana in Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s Next to Normal, along with Trevor Dion Nicholas as Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine, with further casting to be announced. Next to Normal is a critically acclaimed Broadway musical, exploring family and loss. Alessandra Davison and Adam Karim are also today announced as Resident Assistant Directors for the company.
Also announced after five years in the role, Michael Longhurst has said he will step down as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse when his contract ends in February 2024.
