Michael Grandage will return to the National Theatre in February for the first time since 2010 to direct Emma Corrin and Harriet Walter in a new production of Tennessee Williams’ rarely performed masterpiece Suddenly Last Summer.
A family united by grief, divided by truth.
Violet Venable is determined to protect the reputation of her late son Sebastian – but her niece Catharine has a different story about what happened last summer.
When Catharine’s memories are challenged, it falls to a young doctor to decide whose version of events to believe.
A haunting tale of family, trauma and competing truths, Suddenly Last Summer is one of Tennessee Williams’ most gripping plays.
The production will be performed in the Olivier Theatre from 19 February to 24 April 2027. Tickets go on sale from midday on 24 September at https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/suddenly-last-summer/ where you can also find the full cast and creative team.

The Great Indaba | Autumn 2027
Produced by the National Theatre in a co-production with MGC, National Theatre Director Indhu Rubasingham (The Jungle Book) will direct The Great Indaba by Moira Buffini (Handbagged).
How do two warring factions ever find a path to peace?
The Great Indaba dramatises how the 1998 Good Friday Agreement took a big step forward at an extraordinary meeting in South Africa between the new National Unity Government led by Nelson Mandela and the bitter political rivals within Northern Ireland.
This inspirational true story of diplomacy gives hope to the idea that peace can always be achieved even in the greatest areas of conflict.
Further artistic team, casting, performance dates and on sale to be announced.

Client Andrew Panton's revival of A History of Paper starring Alan Cumming and Shirley Henderson has opened to wonderful reviews.
"Tragedy, when it arrives, is well-telegraphed, but even the sense of sorrow and heartbreak is handled by Panton and his cast with tenderness and leavened by humour."
"Panton has also done a commendable job in transferring a small-scale studio production to a larger setting, maintaining a mood of restraint and intimacy while opening out the musical set pieces."
The Times - 4 stars
See the production as part of Pitlochry Festival until 12 September, or at Dundee Rep from 16-19 September.
