US EditionQuentin Tarantino to stage 'swashbuckling comedy' The Popinjay Cavalier in London theatre
Quentin Tarantino’s first stage play is a swashbuckling comedy set in 1830s Europe, premiering early 2027 with Sonia Friedman Productions and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
- On Wednesday, Quentin Tarantino will write and direct his first stage play, The Popinjay Cavalier, set to open on London's West End in early 2027.
- Seeking a different audience experience, Tarantino previously said he was working on a play last year to move away from film because audiences aren’t attentive, framing theatre as a heightened romantic art form.
- Sonia Friedman Productions and Sony Pictures Entertainment said they partnered to develop The Popinjay Cavalier, with priority booking open on The Popinjay Cavalier website while casting and creative team remain to be announced.
- Quentin Tarantino, best known for his violent film classics, fired back at Rosanna Arquette on Tuesday after she criticised his use of the N-word in Pulp Fiction.
- Last week, sources suggested the production will debut in January 2027, and industry watchers hope it could reach the Venice Film Festival, with crossover interest from David Fincher's The Adventures of Cliff Booth.
