"The play will be "a rambunctious comedy of deception and disguise inspired by the grand swashbuckling epics of stage and screen", and will reach the stage in early 2027. It is also billed as "a sweeping celebration of theatre and its heightened romance, told with Tarantino's signature style and unmistakable wit"."
"He first revealed his plan to stage a play last summer, telling the Church of Tarantino podcast it was "all written". "It is absolutely the next thing I'm going to do. We'll start the ball rolling on it in January... It's probably going to take up a year and a half to two years of my life," he said."
"The 62-year-old has now revealed the title, which gives some more clues about its contents. A popinjay is defined as "a vain, foppish or conceited person", while a cavalier is a cavalryman (a soldier on horseback) or courteous gentleman."
Quentin Tarantino, renowned for violent film classics like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, is transitioning to theatre with The Popinjay Cavalier, a swashbuckling comedy of deception and disguise set in 1830s Europe. The production will premiere on London's West End in early 2027 and is described as a celebration of theatre's heightened romance delivered with Tarantino's signature style and wit. The title references a popinjay (a vain, conceited person) and a cavalier (a horseman or gentleman). Tarantino previously announced his theatrical ambitions, stating the project was fully written and would occupy one to two years of his life. Cast details, venue, and ticket pricing remain undisclosed.
