The Guilty Tickets – Donmar Warehouse 2026

One phone call. One night. Nothing is what it seems.
The Guilty made its world premiere in London in summer 2026, starring Russell Tovey in a tense, real-time psychological thriller that unfolds entirely through a single emergency call.

Written by Chloë Moss and directed by Felix Barrett, this edge-of-your-seat production plays from 20 June to 15 August 2026 at the Donmar Warehouse.

A Real-Time Thriller

“Yes, I can help you. That’s what I’m here for.”

Russell Tovey plays Joe, a troubled police officer stuck on the night shift when a desperate 999 call comes through from a woman named Emily. As Joe struggles to piece together fragmented clues from the other end of the line, a race against time begins.

With every passing moment, the truth becomes harder to grasp — and Joe is forced to confront the possibility that nothing about the call is quite what it seems.

Based on the acclaimed films Den Skyldige and The Guilty, this gripping stage adaptation unfolds in real time, drawing the audience deep inside a single, escalating crisis.
