The season will include the world premiere of The King’s Ransom by Stuart Slade and a revival of Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land.
The Donmar Warehouse has now announced further productions as part of its 2026/2027 season.
From the 5th December until the 6th February 2027, the theatre will present the world premiere of Stuart Slade’s The King’s Ransom. Directed by Matthew Dunster, the play has been inspired by one of America’s most unusual crime: stealing Elvis Presley’s remains.
This will then be followed by a revival of Harold Pinter’s No Man’s Land, which is set to be directed by Patrick Marber. Playing at the theatre from the 13th February until the 10th April, the cast is set to include: Simon Russell Beale, Rupert Everett, Olivier Huband and Jay Simpson.
In addition, complete casting has now been confirmed for the world premiere of Danny Lee Wynter’s Ilford Boy. Directed by Tim Sheader, the production is set to star Lindsey Coulson (Eileen), Cary Crankson (Trevor), Gershwyn Eustache Jnr (Ken), Aaron Gill (Raj), Charlotte Jaconelli (Ann), Sinead Matthews (Jackie), Craig Stein (Patrick), Leo Whitfield-Harris (Ted), and Ria Zmitrowicz (Tillie). Playing at the theatre from the 10th October until the 28th November, the play is a story about the ghosts that follow us, the families we choose, and the Streisand that helps us survive.
Talking about the news, Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said “We are delighted today to announce two new shows coming up at the Donmar. We know Matthew Dunster is going to thrill audiences over the festive season with Stuart Slade’s new play The King’s Ransom based on an outrageous and hilarious true crime story. And in 2027 we look forward to welcoming Patrick Marber back to the Donmar to direct Harold Pinter’s masterpiece No Man’s Land with Simon Russell Beale, and Rupert Everett making his Donmar debut. And we are also so pleased to be able to announce today the cast for Danny Lee Wynter’s Ilford Boy. We look forward to welcoming audiences this Autumn and Winter to experience these productions in our powerfully intimate space.”
