The Popinjay Cavalier Tickets

A brand new play by award-winning American film-maker Quentin Tarantino is coming to the West End in early 2027. The Popinjay Cavalier is set in 1830s Europe and will be an ode to the grand swashbuckling epics of stage and screen, packed with romance, wit, a sweeping celebration of theatre, and Tarantino's signature unique style and flair. While few details are known about the plot at this time, it's said to be a rambunctious comedy of deception and disguise, possibly playing tribute to the British 'trouser-dropping' farce. The only real hints lie in the title: popinjay is a term for a vain, foppish person, while a cavalier is a soldier on horseback.

Tarantino is best-known for a career making bloody, outrageous film classics such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with audiences worldwide enthralled by his eccentric characters, razor-sharp witty dialogue, and complex but dramatic storylines. This will be his first foray into the world of theatre, and his playwriting debut. With nine films under his belt, and two Oscars, Tarantino has claimed that he plans to retire from film-making after his tenth. Of The Popinjay Cavalier, he has said, “I'm preparing for it to be a success. If it's a flop, I'll be done very quickly." For Tarantino fans, this is sure to be the biggest theatrical event of 2027.

Get ready to be amazed, awestruck, and blown away when the master of film takes to the stage with this one-of-a-kind new play.
