Donmar Warehouse announces remaining shows in 2025 season

The season will feature three plays including world premieres of Mike Bartlett's new play Juniper Blood and Kip Williams's reimagining of Jean Genet’s The Maids.

Remaining shows in the Donmar Warehouse's 2025 season have been announced, including two world premieres.

Juniper Blood, a new play by Mike Bartlett, will begin performances on 16 August, running through 4 October. The show follows Lip and Ruth, who have left the city behind for a new life on a farm. But when Ruth’s stepdaughter and her best friend arrive, this quiet future is thrown into chaos.

James Macdonald returns to the Donmar to direct Terique Jarrett, Hattie Morahan, Nadia Parkes, Jonathan Slinger, and Sam Troughton. The creative team includes designer ULTZ, associate set designer Mark Simmonds, lighting designer Jo Joelson, and sound designer Helen Skiera.

Kip Williams (The Picture of Dorian Gray) will make his Donmar debut with the world premiere of his new translation of Jean Genet’s The Maids, which he also directs. The play follows two maids who act out their darkest fantasies as they obsessively role-play the murder of their mistress.

The creative team includes set designer Rosanna Vize, costume designer Marg Horwell, video designer Ian William Galloway, and lighting designer Jon Clark.

Last in the season is Artistic Director Tim Sheader's revival of J.B. Priestley’s comedy When We Are Married, which sees three couples gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. But the night soon goes in a different direction thanks to an unexpected and deeply embarrassing revelation.

The cast includes Siobhan Finneran, Samantha Spiro, Sophie Thompson, and Marc Wootton, with a creative team including set designer Peter McKintosh, costume designer Anna Fleischle, and lighting designer Ryan Day.

Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch said: “We are delighted to share the details of the next three shows coming up at the Donmar. Led by UK and international artists at the top of their game, the season brings three fabulous stories to life, inviting audiences into our powerfully intimate space to be transported together."
