1536 has announced a special one-off matinee performance on 30 July 2026, for a last chance to see the acclaimed production. The production opened to critical acclaim earlier this year and has enjoyed a sold out run thus far.
Producers of 1536 have announced a special bonus matinee on 30 July 2026, the final week of the production. Tickets are on sale now, so book yours for a last chance to see this critically acclaimed play.
Written by Ava Pickett, this production has been buzzworthy for quite some time. It played a sell-out run at the Almeida in 2025 before transferring to the West End venue where it currently plays. Critics have universally praised the biting play, both in its original run and in the West End transfer at the Almeida.

What is 1536 about?
Set in Tudor England, the play follows three friends in rural Essex who regularly meet up to indulge in gossip. When rumours reach them of the goings on at court, what with the King having his own wife and Queen arrested, it lays bare some dark realities about their own lives.
The cast of the play features the trio of women who starred in the Almeida production, including:
- Jane: Liv Hill (Film Club)
- Anna: Siena Kelly (On the Town)
- Mariella: Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education)
- Richard: Oliver Johnstone (All My Sons)
- William: George Kemp (Bridgerton)
Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Chimerica), the creative team also includes set and costume design by Max Jones, lighting by Jack Knowles and sound by Tingying Dong.
