Rebecca Lenkiewicz leads All the Rage, site-responsive play responding to Epstein Files

Playwright Rebecca Lenkiewicz has announced All the Rage, a new site-specific production at Theatre Deli in London created by over 70 female-identifying and non-binary artists. The project confronts institutional silence and misogyny in response to the Epstein Files.

All the Rage will be staged at Theatre Deli’s Leadenhall Street venue from 11 to 13 June 2026, using 15 spaces across a repurposed office building. Audiences will move through installations and scenes before gathering for a shared finale, uniting the multiple voices in this theatrical event.

Conceived in a playwriting WhatsApp group following the Epstein Files release, the production focuses on themes of violence, abuse of power, misogyny and trauma. Lenkiewicz and co-producers Deborah Pearson and Anoushka Warden collaborate in partnership with Roxanne Carney and Theatre Deli, with direction by Lucy Morrison.

Lenkiewicz, notable as the first female playwright to premiere on the National Theatre’s Olivier stage in 2008, described the project as born from a collective rage over how the Epstein narrative has prioritised money and men over the victims. She highlighted the space’s symbolism, transforming a former financial institution’s empty office floor into a surreal theatrical environment charged with rebellion.

The writing team features a wide range of voices, including Alison Jean Baker, Cordelia Lynn, Lucy Kirkwood, Suhayla El-Bushra, Timberlake Wertenbaker and Zinnie Harris among many others. Further artists—writers, directors, designers and performers—will be announced in due course.

Performances will take place at 7pm on Thursday and Friday, with matinee and evening shows on Saturday. A donation of £2 from every ticket sold will support a charity aiding survivors of sexual abuse and gender-based violence.

All the Rage joins a growing trend of theatrical works grappling with systemic abuses and institutional complicity, especially from marginalised perspectives. Its immersive, site-specific format reflects an evolving theatre landscape attentive to place, form and collective storytelling.
