Jermyn Street Theatre announces 2025 autumn season

Jermyn Street Theatre has announced its autumn 2025 season.

The season opens with Cascando by Samuel Beckett, presented by Pan Pan and directed by Gavin Quinn. The production is reimagined as an immersive promenade performance, with audiences following the action through the streets of St James’s. Beckett’s work returns to the venue, where it has long been a regular feature.

Playwright Katherine Moar follows her debut play Farm Hall with Ragdoll, a new work inspired by the trial of Patty Hearst. Directed by Josh Seymour, the play spans two time periods and centres on themes of celebrity and justice in 1970s America and the present day.

David Copperfield rounds out the mainstage line-up, adapted and directed by Abigail Pickard Price for Guildford Shakespeare Company. The production continues the company’s collaboration with the theatre, offering a three-actor retelling of Dickens’ novel.

A number of one-night performances take place across the season. Siân Phillips and Robert Powell star in It’s All Greek, a programme of Greek scenes and poetry curated by David Stuttard. Beowulf, directed by Carne deputy director Al Miller, follows Seamus Heaney’s translation of the Old English epic. Mark Stratford returns with Macready! Dickens’ Theatrical Friend, and Claire Louise Amias appears in Haunted Shadows, a solo adaptation of Edith Nesbit’s gothic tales, directed by Jonathan Rigby.
