My Master Builder

Ewan McGregor Returns To The Stage

Ewan McGregor plots a much anticipated West End return as he heads to the Wyndham's Theatre in spring 2025 to star in this brand-new play by Lila Raicek. His first time back on the London stage in 17 years, My Master Builder reunites the Star Wars actor with director Michael Grandage. 

McGregor enthuses: "It's such a thrill be returning to the stage and to work with Michael again, an actor's director with whom I have had some of my happiest working experiences." Expect something big as My Master Builder takes to the stage, beginning performances in April.

What Is The Story?

Inspired by Henrik Ibsen's 1892 play, Reicek's interpretation moves the action to the present day, setting the story in the affluent Hamptons neighbourhood, a summer playground for New York City's well-heeled residents. Beginning on the 4th of July celebrations, My Master Builder is billed as a contemplation of modern-day sexual politics and vulnerability, as it follows a successful couple whose relationship is tested by the arrival of an unexpected face from the past.
