THE DONMAR WAREHOUSE ANNOUNCES
NEW PROGRAMMING FOR 2026 SEASON
Highlights of the season include:
- Carrie Cracknell directs world premiere of Mass by Fran Kranz, with cast including Adeel Akhtar, Monica Dolan, Paul Hilton and Lyndsey Marshal
- Russell Tovey to lead new play The Guilty by Chloë Moss, directed by Felix Barrett
- A major revival of Brian Friel’s A Month in the Country directed by Lyndsey Turner
- World premiere of Danny Lee Wynter’s Ilford Boy, directed by the Donmar’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader
With the critically acclaimed When We Are Married running at the theatre and the world premiere of Anna Ziegler’s Evening All Afternoon currently in rehearsals, the Donmar’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch today announce further programming for the 2026 season including three world premieres and a major revival.
Evening All Afternoon will be followed by the world premiere of Mass, Fran Kranz’s debut play, adapted from his screenplay of the same name which premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Carrie Cracknell, making her Donmar debut, directs Adeel Akhtar, Amari Bacchus, Monica Dolan, Paul Hilton, Lyndsey Marshal, Rochelle Rose and Susie Trayling in this profoundly moving new play.
Next, Russell Tovey returns to the Donmar to star in The Guilty– a new thriller by Chloë Moss, based on the films Den Skyldige and The Guilty, directed by Punchdrunk’s Felix Barrett. The season continues with a major revival of A Month in the Country by Brian Friel after Ivan Turgenev directed by Lyndsey Turner.
Finally, the season concludes with the world premiere of Danny Lee Wynter’s joyful family drama Ilford Boy, directed by Tim Sheader.
Tim Sheader and Henny Finch said “We are delighted to announce our next four productions coming up at the Donmar: three world premieres and a major revival. It’s always a pleasure to welcome back returning directors and writers; including this season Lyndsey Turner who will further explore her relationship with Brian Friel’s work. Equally, we are excited that a number of leading artists will be making their debuts at the Donmar – including directors Carrie Cracknell and Felix Barrett and writers Fran Kranz, ChloëMoss and Danny Lee Wynter.
As ever, the stories we tell live on the Donmar stage are created to connect us all and celebrate our togetherness – whether that’s a conversation between heartbroken parents in Mass; a shared gasp and thrill in The Guilty; a sweeping summer romance in A Month in the Country or a funny, moving coming of age story in Ilford Boy. We want to ensure as many people as possible can experience the powerful intimacy of the Donmar space, so we are delighted to be able to continue to offer thousands of tickets across the season for just £20 for audiences aged 35 and under.”
In addition to the £20 tickets for under 35s, throughout the upcoming season the Donmar will provide more than 1800 tickets for local schools, enabling young people to see productions for free and take part in workshops that develop a deeper understanding of the company’s work. Artists will also be working in residence in five local schools during the run of Ilford Boy to create work with young people inspired by the production.
Since its launch in 2021, the CATALYST Talent Development has supported over fifty people, from backgrounds historically underrepresented in the theatre sector, to grow their skills in paid creative and administrative roles at the Donmar. This season the Donmar will welcome emerging artists working as assistant set, costume, lighting and sound designers across four productions. PATHWAYS, a hands-on careers insight programme for young people delivered by the Donmar team, will also work to support the next generation of talent in theatre.
Also in 2026, a new production of The Fear of 13, in association with the Donmar Warehouse,opens on Broadway in March with Adrien Brody. The Fear of 13 had its world premiere at the Donmar in October 2024, directed by Justin Martin.
The 2026 Season is generously supported by Charles Holloway OBE, Season Supporter.
Priority booking for Donmar supporters opens from 29 January, with public booking opening on 6 February.

A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY
By Brian Friel
Director: Lyndsey Turner; Casting Director: Lotte Hines CDG
22 August – 3 October
Hundreds of women would envy me, wouldn’t they?
A beautiful house in the Russian countryside.
A doting husband, a circle of admirers.
A life of order, tranquillity and quiet restraint.
It’s enough to make you scream.
Natalya Petrovna looks to all the world like a contented woman, but the arrival of a penniless young tutor stirs a restless heart, igniting a spark of desire that sets the Summer ablaze.
A Month in the Country pits passion against propriety, as a cast of characters struggle to reconcile the lives they lead with the happiness they crave. Lyndsey Turner directs Brian Friel’s reworking of Turgenev’s most famous play.
Brian Friel (1929 – 2015) is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s greatest dramatists, having written over 30 plays across six decades. He was a member of Aosdána, the society of Irish artists, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Irish Academy of Letters, and the Royal Society of Literature where he was made a Companion of Literature. He was awarded the Ulysses Medal by University College, Dublin. His major works include Afterplay, The Bear, The Yalta Game, Molly Sweeney, Wonderful Tennessee, Dancing at Lughnasa, Making History, The Communication Cord, Translations, Aristocrats, Faith Healer, Living Quarters, Volunteers, The Freedom Of The City, The Gentle Island, Philadelphia Here I Come!, and The Enemy Within; and other major adaptations include Hedda Gabler, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters.
Lyndsey Turner returns to the Donmar, having previously directed Far Away, Aristocrats, Faith Healer, Fathers and Sons, and Philadelphia Here I Come!.

Director: Tim Sheader; Set Designer: Peter McKintosh; Costume Designer: Ryan Dawson Laight; Choreographer: Ebony Molina; Voice Director: Barbara Houseman; Dialect Coach: Hazel Holder; Casting Director: Lotte Hines CDG
10 October – 28 November
The boy lives in Ilford, of course he’s depressed.
Mixed-race teenager Ted Martin is growing up in 90s East London in a house full of chaos, laughter and tough love.
One day Patrick arrives, shaking the foundations of Ted’s life with his sense of style, humour and love of show tunes. Another way to live explodes into view. One filled with art, possibility and people who see him clearly for the first time.
Directed by Donmar Artistic Director Tim Sheader, Danny Lee Wynter’s Ilford Boy is a funny, moving drama about the ghosts that follow us, the families we choose, and the Streisand that helps us survive.
Danny Lee Wynter‘s debut play Black Superhero opened at the Royal Court Theatre in March 2023. As an actor, he has worked extensively in theatre, film and TV – he most notably received an Olivier Award Nomination for his role in The Normal Heart (National Theatre). He was the founder of Act For Change, the UK campaign group that helped change representation across the live and recorded arts.
Tim Sheader is Artistic Director and Joint Chief Executive of the Donmar Warehouse where he has directed When We Are Married and Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 which was nominated for six Olivier Awards. He was previously Artistic Director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre where he directed over 20 productions, including the Olivier and Evening Standard Award-winning musicals Into the Woods (also Central Park’s Delacorte Theater), Hello, Dolly!, Crazy For You (also West End), and Jesus Christ Superstar which, following two sold out seasons at Regent’s Park and a transfer to the Barbican, has been touring the US for three years, and is currently on tour in the UK and Australia. His critically acclaimed production of To Kill a Mockingbird also toured the UK ending with a sell-out run at the Barbican. Committed to taking the company’s work to as wide an audience as possible, he oversaw further UK tours of productions including Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Flies and Running Wild. His other stage work includes The Monstrous Child (Royal Opera House), My Fair Lady (Aarhus Theatre), Barnum (Chichester Festival Theatre), The Magistrate (National Theatre), Don Pasquale (Opera National de Lorraine, Lausanne and upcoming in Nice and Toulon).
