The Lyric Hammersmith today announces its new season running May 2017 to January 2018 including three major new productions: a UK premiere, a new adaptation of a classic and the return of the now traditional Lyric pantomime.
In June, the Lyric will present the UK Premiere of Ferdinand von Schirach’s Terror in a translation by David Tushingham, a gripping and timely play that has been stirring debate around the globe. The audience are at the centre of this courtroom drama, voting to decide the verdict at each performance. Guilty. Not Guilty. You Decide.
In the autumn, Lesley Sharp takes to the Lyric stage playing Irina Arkadina in a vibrant new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull by Lyric Associate Artist Simon Stephens. The festive season will see the return of the much loved Lyric pantomime with a brand new production of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Before then, the previously announced Paul Auster’s City of Glass will extend its run at the Lyric Hammersmith by a week running until Saturday 20 May.
