Your first glimpse at this "astonishing" (WhatsOnStage) new musical

Since his wife died, ex-cop Walter ‘Pops’ Washington has filled his palatial rent-controlled apartment in one of Manhattan’s most desirable areas with an oddball extended family of petty criminals. So now he’s besieged by the landlords, who want him out, the NYPD, who want him to settle his lawsuit against them, and the ladies from the local church, who want to save his soul… But Pops, calm at the eye of the storm, is going to do precisely what Pops wants to do…

"He says, if we really wanna conceive now, he’s got a little something he can sell me under the counter at a very reasonable price. It will not fail!"

"Nothing compares with being the first person in the history of the world to see something, but timing is everything. The world has to be ready for you."

Hailed by the Evening Standard as 'one of the best Edinburgh Fringe 2024 shows coming to London this year', Daisy Hall's moving debut play Bellringers runs at Hampstead Downstairs from 27 September to 2 November.

Winner of eight Evening Standard, three Olivier and five Tony Awards, Tom Stoppard returns to Hampstead with The Invention of Love, which opens on the Main Stage 4 December.

King James now playing Downstairs until 4 January 2025!

It’s Thursday night — so Jess, Maryn and Milo are at the board game café, continuing their quest to defeat the Nightmare King… It has been months, but now all that stands between them and victory is a few lucky rolls of a twenty-sided dice. A struggling student, an overworked trainee solicitor and a reluctant job-seeker, here they are transformed into Dungeon Master, Wizard, and Warrior Princess. But what happens when the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur?

Laura Whitmore and Sophie Melville star in John Donnelly’s genre-busting new play that is at once a sophisticated critique of the way we live now and a supernatural thriller.

In a web of gambling, love and lies, who will be left holding the trump card?
