Two-time Tony Award winner John Lithgow reprises his 2025 Olivier-winning role as Roald Dahl on the West End stage in this vital portrait of the author and his widely publicized antisemitic views, directed by Nicholas Hytner. Playwright Mark Rosenblatt describes it as an "uncomfortably funny, urgent and provocative night in the theatre." The drama takes place at the height of Dahl's best-selling career and concerns the fallout from his interview with The New Statesman.

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.

Ryan Calais Cameron's Retrograde takes to the Apollo stage following its sold-out success at Kilburn's Kiln Theatre! The play brings to life the tension of a moment in Hollywood history, as Sidney Poitier contemplates a career-making contract laced with dangerous compromises. Directed by Amit Sharma, Retrograde stars Ivanno Jeremiah, whose portrayal of Poitier at the Kiln was hailed by the press, alongside Stanley Townsend and Oliver Johnstone. Following the critical triumph of For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy, Cameron cements his reputation as one of the most vital voices in contemporary theatre.
