Multi–Brit Award-winning rap artist Stormzy will work on a new production at the National Theatre, as part of director Indhu Rubasingham's inaugural season.

Details are currently under wraps, but the show will open in the National’s Dorfman space at some point in the next two years and will feature Stormzy's music.

Speaking about the collaboration Stormzy said: "I’ve always been drawn to theatre and over the past few years I’ve loved going to all kinds of plays and musicals. It’s such a unique space where storytelling, music and performance all come together in the most powerful way and there’s something about experiencing theatre that’s always stayed with me.

"When I went to see Indhu at the National Theatre, we properly hit it off and I’m excited to go on this creative journey with her."

Further details about the project are yet to be announced.
