Plenty

Plenty is a new National Theatre production of David Hare’s landmark play, directed by former National Theatre Director Richard Eyre. The production will examine post-war disillusion and is being staged ahead of Hare’s 80th birthday. Emilia Clarke is set to make her National Theatre debut in the initial casting announced for the production. Plenty is scheduled for the Lyttelton Theatre in Spring 2027, as part of the National Theatre’s programme of new work and reimagined modern classics. The wider 2027 programme brings together stories that look across the last century and explore the perspectives, cultures and conflicts that continue to shape the world, with themes of resilience and hope running through the season. Further production details, including a full synopsis, complete casting and exact performance schedule, have not yet been announced on the official National Theatre announcement page. This listing therefore reflects the information currently published by the National Theatre: a major revival of Hare’s play, led by Eyre and featuring Clarke in her National Theatre debut.
