Park Theatre announces summer & autumn 2025 season

Productions include Conversations After Sex, Outpatient, Our Cosmic Dust, Jimmy, That Bastard, Puccini!, The Gathered Leaves, (the) Woman, and Lee.

The Park Theatre in London has announced its summer and autumn season for 2025, including eight theatre shows.

The season boasts shows set in Ireland, Japan and Italy, Edinburgh Festival Fringe hits, shows exploring the lives of artists and opera composers, and comedians performing their final previews in July ahead of the Edinburgh Fringe in August.

Ahead of the new season is a special fundraiser, An Audience with Jonathan Pryce (30 March 2025), which will see Pryce explore moments that have shaped his award-winning career, with funds going to the Park’s work in the local community.

Opening the summer season is Conversations After Sex (30 April – 17 May 2025), an Irish Times Award-winning play by Mark O’Halloran about unexpected encounters with anonymous strangers in hotel rooms, directed by Jess Edwards (Elephant, Bush Theatre).

In their studio theatre, Park90, comes Edinburgh Fringe hit Outpatient (21 May – 7 June 2025), written and performed by Harriet Madeley, and directed by Madelaine Moore. The show promises to be an explosive autobiographical comedy exploring the world of Olive, a self-obsessed entertainment journalist who sets out to make her name interviewing people who are receiving palliative care, only to discover that she is living with an incurable and mysterious disease of her own.

The English language debut of Our Cosmic Dust (2 June – 5 July 2025) runs in the summer, created by Tokyo writer and director Michinari Ozawa. The play is about Shotaro, a curious schoolboy who sets out on an adventure to find his late father among the stars.

Also from Edinburgh, Jimmy (23 June – 12 July 2025) is a new theatre show from Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Adam Riches, directed by Tom Parry, about American tennis star Jimmy Connors.

In July on the main stage comes That Bastard, Puccini! (10 July – 9 August 2025), about the race between composers Giacomo Puccini and Ruggero Leoncavallo to claim the enchanting love story of La Boheme, written by James Inverne and directed by Daniel Slater.

In autumn, The Gathered Leaves (13 August – 20 September 2025) returns to the Park, a decade after its sold-out run. Directed by former RSC Artistic Director Adrian Noble, and written by Andrew Keatley, The Gathered Leaves is a moving, poignant and funny family drama that sees the weight of history, of reputation, and of expectation, all descend on one family over Easter weekend in 1997.

Bruntwood Prize-shortlisted play (the) Woman (24 September – 25 October 2025) by Jane Upton, directed by Angharad Jones, follows M: a writer, a mother, a woman, and is funny and brutally honest about motherhood, exposing its raw, messy truth, and dares to question the definition of (her) Self.

Finally, Lee (24 September – 18 October 2025) stars Olivier Award-nominated actress Issy van Randwyck, as real-life artist and wife of Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner. Lee is written by Cian Griffin and directed by Jason Moore.

Park Theatre Artistic Director Jez Bond said in a statement: “This season promises a broad array of shows for our audiences to enjoy – from the dark to the comic and the modern to the historic, with familiar names sitting alongside exciting new talent. All the while we’re thrilled to continue to present accessible stories in an intimate setting and to welcome new audiences.”
