The highly anticipated, first-ever live stage adaptation of Suzanne Collins's internationally beloved book and the film, The Hunger Games, makes its premiere in London this Autumn.
Earlier this week, Mia Carragher was announced as Katniss Everdeen in the production.
Hunger Games On Stage heads to a brand-new purpose-built venue, Troubadour Canary Wharf. Audiences will be seated in the round, putting you into the heart of the action. The play, which has been workshopped for over a year, has been adapted by the award-winning playwright Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country) and will be directed by Matthew Dunster (2:22 - A Ghost Story).
Carragher will be joined by Euan Garrett (Quadrophenia, A Mod Ballet) as Peeta Mellark, Joshua Lacey (London Tide, National Theatre) as Haymitch Abernathy, Tristan Waterson (Dear England) as Gale Hawthorne, Sophia Ally (The Hills of California) as Prim Everdeen and Ruth Everett (The View from Above) as Mrs Everdeen. Tamsin Carroll (2:22 A Ghost Story) will take on the role of Effie Trinket, alongside Stavros Demetraki (A Face in the Crowd, Young Vic) as Caesar Flickerman and Nathan Ives-Moiba (Cabaret) as Cinna. Full casting for the premiere is to be revealed.
