Each play offers a standalone experience reflecting on what it means to be British in 2024. The plays are also interconnected to be seen as a cohesive whole, offering a theatrical journey through contemporary British identity and society.
All three dramas play alongside each other until 28 September 2024.
The trilogy concludes with Death of England: Closing Time, starring Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Dune) as Denise and Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Carly, a thought-provoking drama that explores family dynamics, race, colonialism, and cancel culture.
