"The Traitors is, famously, quite a popular TV show, the niche party game of Mafia blown into a gripping televised opera of trust, betrayal and raw humanity. Unsurprisingly, it's already spawned an immersive theatre version right here in London, that allows members of the public to participate in their own short but pretty sweet miniature game of the Claudia Winkleman-hosted show."
"Now there's a Traitors... play? It's been announced today that Traitors TV producer Studio Lambert and top West End production company Neal Street Productions will join forces for 'a stage adaptation' of The Traitors that'll start its run in 2027. The show will be written by John Finnemore and directed by National Theatre deputy Robert Hastie and that's... all we know for now. Although the details are being kept under wraps, the show's publicist did confirm that it is definitely a play."
The Traitors is a popular television show turned immersive public experience in London, based on the party game Mafia and focused on trust and betrayal. Studio Lambert and Neal Street Productions will mount a stage adaptation scheduled to begin in 2027. John Finnemore will write the play and Robert Hastie will direct. The production has been confirmed as a conventional play. Finnemore's Radio 4 comedy background suggests a likely jocular tone. Past parody adaptations have suffered from poor timing, but continued popularity of The Traitors on television makes a timely theatrical rendition plausible. A sign-up is available for further information.
