National Theatre's sold-out production of TILL THE STARS COME DOWN to transfer to the West End

The National Theatre has announced that its sold-out production Till the Stars Come Down will transfer to London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket from 1 July-27 September.

Till the Stars Come Down is a passionate, heartbreaking and hilarious portrayal of a larger-than-life family struggling to come to terms with a changing world. Written by former National Theatre writer-in-residence, Beth Steel, this critically acclaimed production ‘fizzes with sharp comic observation’ (★★★★ Financial Times) and is ‘deliriously funny’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph).

Till the Stars Come Down is ‘full of pain, joy and laughter in a deft production by Bijan Sheibani’ (★★★★★ The Guardian). This Olivier Award-winning director was previously Artistic Director of the Actors Touring Company and is a former associate director of the National Theatre.

Director and Co-Chief Executive of the National Theatre, Rufus Norris, said: “I am delighted that Beth Steel's brilliant debut play at the National Theatre is transferring into the West End. Audiences adored Till the Stars Come Down when it was staged in the Dorfman last year and we are all incredibly proud and pleased that this wonderful production by Bijan Sheibani will get to be shared with many more people. We are deeply appreciative and excited, to be working with our co-producers to make this possible.”

It’s Sylvia and Marek’s wedding and you’re all invited. Over the course of a hot summer’s day, a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. But as the vodka flows and dances are shared, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested. What happens when the happiest day of your life opens the door to a new and uncertain future?

Audience members will be given the opportunity to sit up close and immerse themselves in this ‘break-out hit of 2024’ (★★★★★ WhatsOnStage). On-stage seating will be available throughout the run. Details will be released at a later date.

Sheibani is joined on the creative team by set and costume designer Samal Blak, lighting designer Paule Constable, choreographer and movement director Aline David, sound designer Gareth Fry, revival director Elin Schofield, original casting director Alistair Coomer CDG, casting director Juliet Horsely CDG, dialect coach Charmian Hoare, intimacy director Asha Jennings-Grant, and fight director Kev McCurdy.

Casting is to be announced.

Tickets for Till The Stars Come Down will go on sale to the general public on 20 March at 12pm here.
