Book The Hunger Games: On Stage at Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre. Suzanne Collins Panem story on stage, about 2 hours 30 including interval.
The Hunger Games: On Stage brings Suzanne Collins' Panem to the purpose-built Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre. When Katniss volunteers in place of her sister, the arena story of survival, spectacle and defiance unfolds in the round. Choose your date and official seats on the The Hunger Games: On Stage tickets page.
Adapted for the stage by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, with a design team led by Miriam Buether, the production turns a worldwide story into a live London night out at Canary Wharf.
Plan for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval. Expect an immersive in-the-round arena, sharp staging and a story that holds teens and adults. The Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre sits in Canary Wharf, with Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee line links nearby and plenty of pre-theatre food in the neighbourhood. Arrive early so you can settle before the first cue.
Pick a performance, compare seats for the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, then book through The Hunger Games: On Stage on British Theatre. In-the-round seating means different angles reward different preferences, so use the map when you choose. Casting can change, so check the listing for the date you want.
There is no formal dress code. Smart casual is typical. Leave time for Canary Wharf security and foyer queues. Outside food and drink are not usually allowed in the auditorium. Phones off, and no photography during the performance. The story includes violence and dark themes. Confirm accessibility and any content notes on the listing before you travel.
If you want another London stage night with high stakes and strong design, see Stranger Things: The First Shadow or Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. For a mythic score with dark romance, try Hadestown.
Recommended for ages 12 and above because of violence and dark themes. Confirm the listing for your date.
About 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval. Confirm curtain times on the listing for your date.
