Park Theatre has confirmed a packed programme for late 2025 and early 2026, with two festive productions headlining the Christmas season and a series of revivals, premieres and returning favourites running into spring.
Christmas at Park Theatre
Headlining the festive season in Park200 is Dracapella (3 Dec 2025 – 17 Jan 2026), a brand-new musical comedy written by Jez Bond and Dan Patterson. Dracapella stars Ako Mitchell (The Lion King) as Dracula, Olivier Award winners Stephen Ashfield (The Book of Mormon) and Lorna Want (Beautiful), and Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman). With a cappella mash-ups, slapstick comedy and gothic melodrama, the production promises a playful twist on Bram Stoker’s classic.
Meanwhile in Park90, Gawain and the Green Knight (10 Dec 2025 – 10 Jan 2026) reimagines the medieval legend as an office Christmas party gone wrong. Written by Gabriel Fogarty-Graveson and Felix Grainger, the show blends festive comedy, multi-rolling madness and a dash of fantasy.
Spring 2026 highlights
The new year sees a host of productions across both spaces:
- Jimmy (19 – 24 Jan, Park200) – Adam Riches’ acclaimed one-man comedy about tennis legend Jimmy Connors, returning after a sell-out summer run.
- Troupe Theatre’s revival of Noël Coward’s The Rat Trap (28 Jan – 14 Mar 2026), reimagined by Bill Rosenfield to mark the play’s centenary.
- After Miss Julie (11 – 28 Feb, Park90) – Patrick Marber’s tense reimagining of Strindberg’s tale of power and desire, revived 30 years after its premiere.
- aggy / tell me straight (3 – 28 Mar, Park90) – a double bill of Paul Bradshaw’s plays exploring identity, creativity and sexuality.
- Consumed (18 Mar – 18 Apr, Park200) – Karis Kelly’s Women’s Prize for Playwriting-winning dark comedy, following its acclaimed Edinburgh run.
- Two Halves of Guinness (20 Apr – 2 May, Park200) – marking 25 years since Alec Guinness’ death, Zeb Soanes stars in Mark Burgess’s play directed by Selina Cadell.
- Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4 (11 May – 27 June, Park200) – the smash-hit murder mystery returns with a Wild West setting and a different celebrity guest detective every night.
The new season continues Park Theatre’s tradition of blending large-scale comedy and music with daring new writing and bold revivals, offering audiences in Finsbury Park and beyond a diverse programme for the months ahead.
Previously announced highlights
As previously announced, the autumn line-up includes Hannah Doran’s The Meat Kings! (Inc.) Of Brooklyn Heights (30 Oct – 29 Nov 2025), winner of the Papatango New Writing Prize and directed by George Turvey, a hard-hitting new play exploring the dark underbelly of America’s anti-immigration policies.
