Further principal casting has been announced for the upcoming, highly anticipated, first-ever live stage adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s internationally acclaimed book “The Hunger Games” and Lionsgate’s motion picture, The Hunger Games.

Euan Garrett (Quadrophenia A Mod Ballet) will star as Peeta Mellark, and Joshua Lacey (All The Old Knives) as Haymitch Abernathy. They join previously announced Mia Carragher as Katniss Everdeen.

Further casting is yet to be announced.

Stage performances commence on Monday 20 October 2025 at the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, a brand-new 1,200 seat venue situated right in the heart of London’s vibrant Canary Wharf. The state-of-the-art Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre is a purpose-built, dynamic theatre-in-the-round venue designed especially to host this production, putting spectators into the heart of the action.

In a dystopian future, The Hunger Games ignite a thrilling battle for survival, where 24 young tributes are pitted against each other in a deadly arena. Katniss Everdeen, a fearless and resourceful heroine, emerges as a symbol of rebellion as she fights not only for her life but for the hope of a nation oppressed by a ruthless Capitol. In a brand-new epic stage production, The Hunger Games is a gripping tale of courage, defiance, and the unbreakable human spirit.

The Hunger Games On Stage is written by Olivier Award-winning playwright Conor McPherson (The Brightening Air, Girl from the North Country, The Weir), adapting the first book from Suzanne Collins, and directed by Matthew Dunster (Hedda, Shirley Valentine, 2:22 – A Ghost Story, The Pillowman).
