What’s on

The Hunger Games: On Stage

After a weird false start a decade ago wherein it was announced that a musical adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s bestselling YA novels would come to a revolving theatre in Wembley (this did not happen) The Hunger Games are finally heading to the stage – indeed, it says that in the name. This is not a musical, but rather a straight up adaptation from the great Irish playwright Conor McPherson, that will in fact run in a brand new, 1,200-set, in-the-round theatre in Canada Water. Directed by West End stalwart Matthew Dunster – who has good form with big, techy productions via his smash 2.22: A Ghost Story – it’s specifically an adaption of the titular first Hunger Games novel from 2008.  Set in a post-apocalyptic North America, it follows teenager Katniss Everdeen as she is enterted into the dystopian gladatorial survival games that the goverment requires all its ‘sectors’ to enter. Youngster Mia Carragher (pictured) will play Katniss, in a large ensemble cast that includes Euan Garrett (Peeta Mellark), Joshua Lacey (Haymitch Abernathy), Tristan Waterson (Gale Hawthorne),  Tamsin Carroll (Effie Trinket),  Stavros Demetraki (Caesar Flickerman), Nathan Ives-Moiba (Cinna & Mayor), Sophia Ally (Prim Everdeen & Ensemble), and Ruth Everett (Mrs. Everdeen & Ensemble).
