The Menier Chocolate Factory has revealed shows in its 2025/26 season.

The season will open with a major revival of Noël Coward’s Fallen Angels, directed by Christopher Luscombe, who previously directed Travels with My Aunt at the Menier. The comedy, about best friends Jane and Julia, who receive an unexpected visit from a shared ex-boyfriend, is being revived in London for the first time in 25 years. Performances will run from 21 November – 21 February 2026.

Next in the season is Ryan Craig’s The Holy Rosenbergs, which premiered at the National Theatre in 2011 and tells the story of a family in crisis. The play will be directed by Lindsay Posner, who also returns to the Menier having directed Communicating Doors, Abigail’s Party, and The Truth. Performances begin on 27 February 2026, running through 2 May.

Posner will stay on to direct Peter Shaffer’s modern classic Equus, about the relationship between psychiatrist Martin Dysart and his complicated young patient Alan Strang. The show will run from 8 May - 27 June 2026, before continuing at Theatre Royal Bath.

The Menier's production of Mel Brooks’ The Producers is now at the Garrick Theatre in the West End.

Artistic Director of the Menier Chocolate Factory David Babani said, “It’s been quite a week for the Menier with our production of The Producers opening in the West End, and now announcing a season of British classics for our home in Southwark. These three wonderful plays - Fallen Angels, The Holy Rosenbergs and Equus - tackle the very contemporary and compelling themes of the power of female friendship; faith and tradition in the core of the Jewish community, and the exploration of the human psyche.”
