The Menier Chocolate Factory has announced three new titles for its 2025/2026 season.

Its five-star production of The Producers is currently playing in the West End, while last year’s The Baker’s Wife prepares to premiere in the US.

First up is a major revival of Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels, directed by Christopher Luscombe. It’ll play from 21 November 2025 to 21 February 2026, with a press night set for 2 December.

Then follow two plays directed by Lindsay Posner. First will be Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs, which runs from 27 February to 2 May 2026, with a press night set for 9 March.

Next will be Peter Shaffer’s modern classic Equus, with performances taking place between 8 May and 27 June, and a press night set for 18 May.

Equus is presented in a co-production with Theatre Royal Bath, where the production will play from 13 to 25 July.

The Menier Chocolate Factory’s artistic director, David Babani, said: “It’s been quite a week for the Menier with our production of The Producers opening in the West End, and now announcing a season of British classics for our home in Southwark. These three wonderful plays – Fallen Angels, The Holy Rosenbergs and Equus – tackle the very contemporary and compelling themes of the power of female friendship; faith and tradition in the core of the Jewish community, and the exploration of the human psyche.”
