Jessie Buckley is among the stars set to appear at London’s Royal Court Theatre as the venue announced the first part of its 2027 slate and teased its 2028 plans.
Oscar winner Buckley will star in Nina Segal’s play Afterbirth, which has been described as a “funny, furious, and unflinching” portrayal of life after birth and parenthood.
“The baby is fine. The birth was fine. Annie is fine. She’s fine. She’s really, really, really fine,” says the Royal Court Theatre’s synopsis.
The theatre also shared a teaser trailer featuring Hamnet star Buckley.
Afterbirth, directed by Maria Aberg, will have its world premiere on 15 January 2028 and will run until 26 February that year.
Tickets will go on sale on the Royal Court Theatre website on Wednesday, 4 November at midday.
Killarney-born Buckley last appeared on the London stage in the revival of Cabaret at the Playhouse Theatre in 2022, winning a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.
