Book tickets for We’re Gonna Kill Billy at the Royal Court Theatre, Alex Medland’s debut comedy eco-thriller about four teenage girls, a billionaire and a kidnapping.

We’re Gonna Kill Billy in London

Winner of the Concord Theatricals Unpublished Playwright Award, We’re Gonna Kill Billy is Alex Medland’s professional debut, directed by Royal Court Associate Director and Olivier Award nominee Aneesha Srinivasan (Godot’s To-Do List).

Part comedy, part eco-thriller, this new play promises to be a razor-sharp, mischievous caper about protest and climate justice, with plenty of teenage rage.

The production is also a sustainability case study, reusing sets, props and costumes from existing stock.

Book We’re Gonna Kill Billy tickets

We’re Gonna Kill Billy plays a limited run at the Royal Court Theatre from 18 February to 27 March 2027. Book now so you don’t miss it.

Four teenage girls want to stop a billionaire from building a marina that will destroy local wildlife. They have a plan. Step one: kidnap his grandson. Step two: revolution. Of course, they’re not actually going to kill anyone.

Part comedy, part eco-thriller, the play is a razor-sharp caper with important questions at its heart about protest and resistance in climate justice. Alex Medland describes it as a story about four gutsy young people from Aotearoa New Zealand, and hopes audiences leave with a feeling of righteous, hopeful teenage rage.
