Let the Whale Die in London

Meg Schadler premieres her provocative new play Let the Whale Die at Park Theatre from 4 to 15 May 2027.

A darkly funny 60-minute play, it’s a strange and unsettling journey into the mind of a woman who has stopped explaining herself, asking how far you would go to break out of your cage.

Directed by Angharad Jones for the New Perspectives Theatre Company, this new play follows the premiere of (the) Woman at Park Theatre in September 2025.

The cast is yet to be announced.

Book Let the Whale Die tickets

Book tickets for the world premiere of Let the Whale Die at Park Theatre, running from 4 May to 15 May 2027.

You killed a whale. The whale killed itself.

Girl’s one job was to keep the aquarium’s star orca alive. Spoiler alert: the whale dies. Her mother, her husband, her boss and the entire world want to know why. How could she? What is wrong with her? Everyone wants answers, but Girl doesn’t want to give them.

What seems like a crisis to everyone else feels like a new beginning for Girl. As she tries to hold on to her new outlook on life, the pressure closes in from all sides. Can she move forward, or will she hit her head on the glass?

New Perspectives return with the premiere of Meg Schadler’s darkly funny, provocative new play, a strange and unsettling journey into the mind of a woman who has stopped giving people what they expect.
