The first-ever live stage adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ internationally acclaimed novel and Lionsgate’s worldwide box office phenomenon The Hunger Games will make its debut in London in Autumn 2024.

Heralded by the New York Times as the best playwright of his generation, the multi award-winning Conor McPherson has adapted the first book from Suzanne Collins’ epic series and the first film from Lionsgate’s iconic dystopian film franchise for this live theatrical production.

The production will be helmed by renowned director Matthew Dunster, with a world-class creative team who will bring the show to breathtaking life.

Best-selling author of The Hunger Games series, Suzanne Collins, said: “I’m very excited to be collaborating with the amazing team of Conor McPherson and Matthew Dunster as they bring their dynamic and innovative interpretation of The Hunger Games to the London stage.”

Conor McPherson said: "To receive Suzanne Collins’ blessing to adapt The Hunger Games for the stage is both humbling and inspiring. She has created a classic story which continues to resonate now more than ever. In a world where the truth itself seems increasingly up for grabs, The Hunger Games beautifully expresses values of resilience, self-reliance and independent moral inquiry for younger people especially. This is turbo charged storytelling of the highest order and I’m hugely excited to bring it to a new generation of theatre goers and to Suzanne Collins’ longstanding and devoted fans."

Joining McPherson and Dunster on the creative team are set designer Miriam Buether, costume designer Moi Tran, choreographer Charlotte Broom, lighting designer Lucy Carter, sound designer Ian Dickinson for Autograph, video designer Tal Rosner, performer flying by John Maddox for Suspended Illusions, and casting director Amy Ball.
