"There's one name on everyone's lips in Theatreland this month: Cynthia Erivo, who trades witchcraft for vampirism as she returns to the London stage for the first time in a decade with a one-woman take on Bram Stoker's . That's the splashiest show of the month, though if it sounds dauntingly hip a new Yes, Minister play starring Griff Rhys Jones and a reviewal of CS Lewis bio-drama Shadowlands starring Hugh Bonneville ought to offer more traditional delights."
"She hasn't performed on said British stage since. But now she finally makes her return home in style: playing all 23 roles in a stage version of Bram Stoker's vampire classic. It might sound a touch hubristic, but she's in safe hands with Australian multimedia whizzkid director Kip Williams, who was responsible for the excellent Sarah Snook-starring Dorian Gray a couple of years back. Expect a tour-de-force acting performance - but expect a dazzlingly techy production."
February 2026 London theatre offers a high-profile month of star-driven and eclectic productions. Cynthia Erivo returns to the London stage after a decade to play all 23 roles in a one-woman stage version of Bram Stoker's vampire classic, directed by Kip Williams, promising a tour-de-force acting performance and a dazzlingly technical production. A rare revival of Tom Stoppard's widely regarded masterpiece has been staged with his last approvals, framed as a generational event. A new Yes, Minister revival stars Griff Rhys Jones, and a reworking of CS Lewis biographical drama Shadowlands features Hugh Bonneville. The season includes premieres such as a Chadwick Boseman play at Shakespeare's Globe and offbeat titles like The Shitheads.
