The Hunger Games stage adaptation extends Troubadour Canary Wharf run into 2027

The world premiere stage adaptation of The Hunger Games, adapted by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, has extended its run at the new Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre until February 2027. The production continues to bring Suzanne Collins’ novel and the Lionsgate film’s story to life with a star-studded cast and an immersive staging.

The Hunger Games stage show opened at the newly constructed Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, a 1,200-seat venue designed specifically for the production, which is staged in the round. Audiences are seated as residents of various districts, with the notable absence of District 12 adding to the immersive experience.

Mia Carragher stars as Katniss Everdeen in her professional debut, earning a nomination for a WhatsOnStage Award. The cast also features Euan Garrett as Peeta Mellark, Joshua Lacey as Haymitch Abernathy, Tristan Waterson as Gale Hawthorne, and Sophia Ally as Primrose Everdeen. Tamsin Carroll plays Effie Trinket, with John Malkovich appearing as President Snow via video screen.

Next month, the show will install a floral feature to coincide with the release of the new Hunger Games film, Sunrise on the Reaping. Visitors will also be able to view an exhibition displaying costumes used in the original Hunger Games film, tying the stage production to the wider franchise.

The creative team includes Miriam Buether as set designer, Moi Tran on costumes, Charlotte Broom choreographing, and Lucy Carter handling lighting, alongside specialists in sound, video, illusions, and fight direction. James Maloney leads the music as arranger and musical director.

The Hunger Games book series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and been translated into 52 languages, while the film adaptations have grossed more than $3.4 billion globally. A new novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, was released earlier this year, with a film adaptation scheduled for release in November 2026.

The production’s run is extended until 14 February 2027, with a new block of tickets going on general sale from tomorrow. A second-year cast will begin performances on 20 October 2026 and will be announced in due course.
