Brand-new production photography has been released for Death of England: Michael at @sohoplace in the West End.

Thomas Coombes (Baby Reindeer) stars in the play, written by Clint Dyer and Roy Williams and directed by Dyer, which is one part of an interconnected trilogy being staged in rep for the very first time.

The three plays had their respective world premieres at the National Theatre between 2020 and 2023.
