‘Death of England’ at Soho Place
This summer, the National Theatre presents a rare and powerful theatrical event with Death of England, a trilogy of plays by Clint Dyer and Roy Williams. For the first time, these three interconnected works will be performed together in a strictly limited season at @sohoplace.
‘Death of England’ has already garnered widespread acclaim in previous seasons, praised for its vivid exploration of the state of the nation. The trilogy examines the complexities of British identity in 2024 through the stories of Michael, Delroy, Denise, and Carly. These characters navigate the joys and challenges of being British, offering audiences a deeply theatrical experience that is by turns exhilarating, profoundly moving, funny, and furious. Whether you choose to watch one play as a standalone experience or explore the connections between two or three, ‘Death of England’ promises to be a gripping reflection on contemporary Britain.
The production boasts an impressive cast, featuring Paapa Essiedu, known for his roles in I May Destroy You and Gangs of London; Thomas Coombes of Baby Reindeer fame; Erin Doherty, who captivated audiences in The Crown; and Sharon Duncan-Brewster, who recently starred in Dune. Directed by Clint Dyer, the trilogy has been hailed as “uniquely brilliant” by the Evening Standard, making it the must-see theatrical event of the summer.
‘Death of England’ is set to captivate audiences at the National Theatre, 28th September. This limited run is an unmissable opportunity to witness a powerful, thought-provoking exploration of modern British life, brought to life by some of the most talented actors and creatives in the industry.
