Roy Williams’ and Clint Dyer’s Death Of England: Michael is at @sohoplace this summer.

Following an acclaimed run at the National Theatre, this hair-raising dramatic monologue about the grief and grievances of a working-class white male runs alongside Death of England:Delroy and Death of England: Closing Time for the very first time.

These three interconnected plays are, by turns, exhilarating, profoundly moving, funny but furious, and deeply theatrical. Watch one as a standalone experience or discover the connections between two or three of the plays.

Thomas Coombes, most recently seen in the Netflix drama Baby Reindeer performs this fearless one-person play which asks explosive and enduring questions about identity, race and class in Britain.

Death Of England: Michael runs from 15 July to 28 September 2024 @sohoplace this summer

A family in mourning. A man in crisis.

After the death of his dad, Michael is powerless and angry. In a state of heartbreak, he confronts the difficult truths about his father’s legacy and the country that shaped him. At the funeral, unannounced and unprepared, Michael decides it is time to speak.
