I'm delighted to join the world premiere production of The Hunger Games in London, bringing this iconic story to the stage. - John Malkovich

Malkovich is an Academy Award-nominated actor known for his bold choices in projects. From the Killing Fields to bonkers metaphysical comedy Being John Malkovich. On joining the project, he said: 

"I'm delighted to join the world premiere production of The Hunger Games in London, bringing this iconic story to the stage. Playing President Coriolanus Snow will be thrilling, because I have long been an admirer of Suzanne Collins's novels, the films and Conor McPherson's writing, and it is a privilege to take on this role."

What Is The Story?

Follow the adventures of reluctant heroine Katniss Everdeen as she saves her sister from being selected for the annual child death match held by the Capitol, by volunteering herself. What follows is a harrowing journey from poverty to hero status as she battles for her life against the odds, with the help of fellow Tribute Peeta and their mentor Haymitch.

Can they all traverse the dystopian world of the Games and try to stay alive amid conspiracy, prejudice and horrifying violence?

Immersive Experience

In a round formation, audience members will take their seat in one of the districts, with District 12 in the middle. The specially built all-purpose stage will show every aspect of Panem from the impoverished District 12, to the opulence of the Capitol through to the action of the Games themselves. Get ready for a Hunger Games experience like no other!
