Park Theatre has officially announced its vibrant and eclectic 2027 Park200 season, anchored by brilliant new writing, a landmark revival, and an exciting expansion into opera. Artistic Director Jez Bond and Executive Director Catherine McKinney have curated a main-stage programme that blends celebrated contemporary voices with fresh theatrical talent.
Kicking off the year in January is Adam Riches’ Fringe First Award-winning play The Captain, exploring the extraordinary journey of Channel-swimming pioneer Matthew Webb. Riches will also return for a strictly limited run of his acclaimed one-man show Jimmy. Following this, Katherine Senior’s Spitfire Girls makes its London premiere, celebrating the courageous women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II.
Spring brings a major theatrical highlight: the first London revival in 14 years of Jez Butterworth’s Olivier Award-winning debut play, Mojo. Running from March 4 to April 10, 2027, this visceral Soho-set crime drama examines the brutal power struggles of the 1950s rock 'n' roll scene. Immediately following, OperaUpClose takes up a major residency with a sharp contemporary murder-mystery reimagining of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.
Summer features the theatrical debut of award-winning comedy duo Max & Ivan with the world premiere of The Wedding(s), a hilarious farce about two accidental weddings booked on the exact same day. July welcomes the world premiere of Carol Schneider’s The Quiet Revolution of Laurent Clerc, continuing the venue's dedication to Deaf-led, accessible storytelling.
Rounding out the year, Park Theatre will reunite with Papatango to stage the world premiere of the 2026 Papatango New Writing Prize winner, selected from a record-breaking 1,913 entries. With such an extraordinary lineup spanning comedy, classic drama, opera, and daring new work, Park Theatre continues to cement its reputation as a powerhouse of modern storytelling in Finsbury Park.
