London's Menier Chocolate Factory has revealed programming for its 2025-2026 season.

The company, currently represented by the revival of The Producers at the Garrick Theatre, will open its season with a revival of Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels, directed by Christopher Luscombe. Performances are scheduled for November 21, 2025-February 21, 2026.

The season will continue with two plays directed by Lindsay Posner: Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs (February 27-May 2) and Peter Shaffer’s Equus. Equus will be presented in a co-production with Theatre Royal Bath, where the production will run after the May 8-June 27 engagement at the Menier.

Casting and additional creative team members will be announced at a later date.

Said Artistic Director David Babani, “It’s been quite a week for the Menier with our production of The Producers opening in the West End, and now announcing a season of British classics for our home in Southwark. These three wonderful plays—Fallen Angels, The Holy Rosenbergs, and Equus—tackle the very contemporary and compelling themes of the power of female friendship; faith and tradition in the core of the Jewish community, and the exploration of the human psyche.”

The Menier is also involved in work across the Atlantic this season: the upcoming Off-Broadway production of Stephen Schwartz’s The Baker’s Wife, which Gordon Greenberg will direct for Classic Stage Company, with Ariana DeBose, Scott Bakula, and Judy Kuhn.
