Following acclaimed seasons at the National Theatre, Clint Dyer and Roy Williams extraordinary series of three plays, DEATH OF ENGLAND, has opened to rave reviews in London’s West End. The Evening Standard called it “raw, gutsy and exhilarating” and said that “the West End needs shows like this”. Performed together for the very first time, DEATH OF ENGLAND is @sohoplace for a strictly limited season.
These three interconnected plays are, by turns, exhilarating, profoundly moving, funny but furious, and deeply theatrical. Watch one as a standalone experience or discover the connections between two or three of the plays as Michael, Delroy, Denise and Carly navigate the joys and challenges of what it means to be British in 2024.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”Furious, funny, urgent and timely” Evening Standard
DEATH OF ENGLAND: MICHAEL
Thomas Coombes (Baby Reindeer), stars in this scorching and fearless play which asks explosive and enduring questions about identity, race and class in Britain.
DEATH OF ENGLAND: DELROY
Starring Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You, Gangs of London), this is the searing story of a Black working class man searching for truth and confronting his relationship with Britain.
DEATH OF THE ENGLAND: CLOSING TIME
Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Dune) and Erin Doherty (The Crown) play Denise and Carly in this thought-provoking drama that explores family dynamics, race, colonialism and cancel culture.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The most exhilarating and hair-raising drama. This is truly a play for today” The Guardian
