A stage adaptation of The Hunger Games will open in London this autumn.

The Hunger Games: On Stage will have its world premiere on Monday 20 October 2025 at the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre.

Conor McPherson has adapted the first book from Suzanne Collins’ series and the first film from Lionsgate’s franchise for the live theatrical production. It will be directed by Matthew Dunster.

Speaking about the play, Dunster said: “Conor McPherson lifts the detail and power from the book and film and has provided us with the kind of taut and dangerous play he is renowned for. He honours the young voice of Katniss Everdeen and puts her front and centre.

“We’ve been workshopping the play for over a year with our world class creative team; carefully honing our theatrical vocabulary because we want to bring audiences something as impactful and edgy as Suzanne Collins’ novel and as passionate and exciting as the movie. But we are going to do it in our own way – in the theatre. We want our Hunger Games to be uniquely, thrillingly theatrical.” 

Tickets for The Hunger Games: On Stage will go on sale at 1pm GMT on Thursday, 27 March 2025.
