Sandra Oh will star as the titular Misanthrope in this modern adaptation of Moliere's classic comedy of manners, in which a brilliant but misanthropic novelist lashes out against the sycophantic society around her and risks destroying her reputation. Martin Crimp's wickedly funny and clever retelling will relocate this classic play to the modern day, with Moliere's anti-hero reimagined as a woman, in a searing and contemporary take on this dark comedy about public perceptions.

Olivier Award winner Hiran Abeysekera (The Father and the Assassin) stars in a stunning new adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, in this new play by Anupama Chandrasekhar. Experience the story of Mowgli, a wild child raised by the animals of the jungle, in this epic, colourful production that brings Kipling's iconic jungle setting to life with jaw-dropping, life-sized puppets. Coming this Christmas, The Jungle Book is a piece of theatrical marvel that the whole family can fall in love with.

Matthew Warchus and Stephen Beresford bring to life the remarkable true story of a group of gay and lesbian activists who allied themselves with miners during the strikes of 1984. Fierce, funny, and moving, Pride tells the story of two threatened communities who came together during a powerful moment in British and queer history, told through a score of original songs inspired by protest anthems, pop, rock, disco and the Welsh choral tradition.

Choderlos de Laclos's scandalous, provocative French novel about seduction, manipulation, and betrayal comes to the stage in this thrilling adaptation directed by Marianne Elliott. Aidan Turner and Lesley Manville star as the scheming, power-hungry Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil in this darkly witty satire of pre-revolutionary French elite society in all its glamour and social vice.
