Four new shows announced for 2025 including Sing Street, Ghosts, Marriage Material & Dracula.
Gary Owen‘s radical reimagining of Henrik Ibsen‘s GHOSTS is directed by Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan, reuniting the team behind the critically acclaimed Iphigenia in Splott. Playing from 10 April - 10 May 2025.
Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti adapts Sathnam Sanghera‘s critically acclaimed novel MARRIAGE MATERIAL, a multi-generational drama following one Sikh family and their corner shop from the 1960s to the present day. Directed by Iqbal Khan. Playing from 22 May - 21 June 2025.
The UK premiere of SING STREET, a new musical based on the 2016 movie of the same name by John Carney. Playing from 08 July– 23 August 2025. With a book by Tony Award winner Enda Walsh, music and lyrics by Gary Clark and Carney, this joyous coming-of-age story is directed by Tony Award winner Rebecca Taichman.
Morgan Lloyd Malcolm completes the season with a major new adaptation of Bram Stoker‘s DRACULA, directed by Emma Baggott. This reimagined version centres on the female voices at the heart of the story. Playing from 11 September - 11 October 2025.
Rachel O’Riordan, Artistic Director of the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, said: “This season truly has something for everyone – an Ibsen classic radically reimagined, a family saga set against the changing face of Britain, a heart-warming musical based on a beloved coming-of-age film, and a major new adaptation of a horror classic. The four extraordinary playwrights who make up this season of work – Gary Owen, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, Enda Walsh and Morgan Lloyd Malcolm – are as dynamic and varied as our audience and represent some of the most exciting voices in contemporary theatre. I cannot wait for audiences to see their work on our beautiful stage and can think of no better way for the Lyric to celebrate this milestone birthday.”
