The 2026 Donmar Warehouse season will bring three world premieres, plus one revival, to the U.K. venue, based in London.

Franz Kass' debut play Mass will make its world premiere April 18, running through June 6. In it, two couples meet in the quiet room of an Episcopal church to have a conversation no parent should ever have to face. The cast will include Adeel Akhtar, Amari Bacchus, Monica Dolan, Paul Hilton, Lyndsey Marshal, Rochelle Rose, and Susie Trayling. Carrie Cracknell will direct, with set and costume design by Anna Yates, lighting design by Guy Hoare, sound design by Donato Wharton, composing by Stuart Earl, and casting direction by Lotte Hines.

The world premiere of Chloë Moss's The Guilty will begin performances June 20 for a run through August 15. Russell Tovey will star as troubled police officer Joe, stuck on the night shift, who takes a desperate 999 call from Emily. The production will include direction by Felix Barrett, set design by Alex Eales, lighting design by Anna Watson, sound design by Gareth Fry, video design by Luke Halls, associate direction by Elin Schofield, and casting direction by Lotte Hines. 

A Month in the Country will run August 22-October 3. The reworking of Turgenev’s most famous play by acclaimed Irish dramatist Brian Friel will be directed by Lyndsey Turner. It explores passion against propriety, as a cast of characters struggle to reconcile the lives they lead with the happiness they crave. 

The world premiere of Danny Lee Wynter's Ilford Boy will begin performances October 10 before officially opening October 20, running through November 28. In it, mixed-race teenager Ted Martin is growing up in '90s East London in a house full of chaos, laughter, and tough love—but when  Patrick arrives, he shakes the foundations of Ted's life with his sense of style, humor and love of showtunes, and another way to live explodes into view. Tim Sheader will direct, with set design by Peter McKintosh, costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight, choreography by Ebony Molina, voice direction by Barbara Houseman, dialect coaching by Hazel Holder, and casting direction by Hines.
