Back to Productions NO MAN'S LAND This production began performances on 7th October 2008 and closed on 3rd January 2009. ★★★★ Watching these two great actors play off each other with such panache.... is a rare privilege and a profound pleasure Daily Telegraph From the pen of one of the greatest living playwrights, comes Nobel Prize laureate Harold Pinter's tragicomic gem about two aging writers, Hirst and Spooner. After meeting on Hampstead Heath, they return home for a late-night session of witty banter, sinister power games, and the worship of alcohol, watched by Hirst's henchman, Briggs and Foster. This unique and haunting play is part mystery drama, part homage to the ghosts of the past and the fiction of memory. ★★★★ Walliams dazzles.....Rupert Goold's revelatory production... Chilling, thrilling Pinter in dreamland....illuminating Evening Standard Rupert Goold directs Michael Gambon , David Bradley , David Walliams and Nick Dunning in Harold Pinter 's No Man's Land , now playing at the Duke of York's Theatre, currently booking until 3 January 2009.

No Man's Land received its world premiere in 1975 in a National Theatre production at the Old Vic, with Peter Hall directing a stellar cast which included Michael Feast, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson and Terence Rigby. In 1992, Pinter played Hirst in the Almeida Theatre production, directed by David Leveaux, and in 2001 directed his play for the National Theatre with Danny Dyer, Corin Redgrave, Andy de la Tour and John Wood. No Man's Land was first produced at the Gate Theatre, Dublin in 1997 to great acclaim as part of the Theatre's second Pinter Festival.

Back to Productions STEREOPHONIC – WEST END This production is currently running until November 2025. ★★★★★ "The stunningly rendered tale of a band on the brink of creative genius is an extraordinary, electrifying odyssey" The Guardian Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. In Stereophonic , Adjmi invites the audience to immerse themselves—with fly-on-the-wall intimacy—in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

Back to News & Press NT Live broadcast of Hamlet is highest grossing event cinema opening of 2015 Thursday, 15 October 2015 Rentrak are reporting that HAMLET was the top grossing box office in UK and Ireland on 15 October and, although so far having only played for one evening, is currently standing at number 3 on the week. Sales currently stand at £1.7 million with many venues still to report and encore screenings planned from 22 October. The production, directed by Lyndsey Turner and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions was broadcast live to 87% of UK cinemas and thousands more around the world direct from the stage of the Barbican Theatre in London. The cast also includes Leo Bill (Horatio), Siân Brooke (Ophelia), Anastasia Hille (Gertrude), Ciarán Hinds (Claudius), Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Laertes) Karl Johnson (Ghost, Gravedigger) and Jim Norton (Polonius). Prior to the broadcast Benedict Cumberbatch said “It feels truly thrilling to be opening up our theatre production of Hamlet to the wider reach of a National Theatre Live audience. The idea that people who can't get to the theatre, for whatever reason, can join us for one night in cinemas around the country - and indeed the world - is extraordinary. Each screening will doubtless have its own atmosphere, but wherever you’re watching, thanks to the brilliance of the National Theatre Live team, you’ll be right at the heart of the action, in the best seat in the house” As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. Benedict Cumberbatch is an international multi-award winning theatre, television and film actor. His recent stage credits for the National Theatre include After the Dance and alternating the Creature and Dr Frankenstein, in Danny Boyle's production of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for which he won the Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Best Actor awards. He is currently best known for playing the title role in the BBC’s Sherlock and will be seen next year as Richard III in The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses. His film work includes Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Star Trek into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave, The Fifth Estate, August: Osage County and the role of Smaug in The Hobbit trilogy. Cumberbatch has been nominated for BAFTA, Golden Globe and Academy Awards for his role playing Alan Turing in The Imitation Game.

Back to News & Press THE STAGE 100 2026: Number 2 - Sonia Friedman Thursday, 8 January 2026 Read the original article here . SONIA FRIEDMAN Sonia Friedman Productions. When British Vogue named its 25 women who defined Britain in 2025, it was no surprise – but still a thrill – to see Friedman’s name among the list. Last year was incredible for this illustrious producer whose energy, ambition and passion continue to shine through in all that she does. Vogue praised her for her “era-defining shows in both the West End and on Broadway”, and it’s no exaggeration to say she is leader of the pack when it comes to producing both at home and across the pond. Early in 2025, at the Tony Awards in New York, Friedman scooped 21 nominations across four productions – the most for any London-based theatre producer that year. This included five for Stranger Things: The First Shadow , which continues to wow audiences in New York and London, and seven for Jez Butterworth’s The Hills of California . She received a further seven nods for Dead Outlaw and two for Eureka Day . Her company won four Tonys, plus a special award for the illusions and effects in Stranger Things. Closer to home, at the Olivier Awards, Friedman’s shows were the recipients of four gongs, including best director for The Years (which went to Eline Arbo), best actress in a supporting role (which went to Romola Garai for The Years), best revival for Robert Icke’s Oedipus and best actress for Lesley Manville, who starred in it. Friedman was particularly proud of The Years, telling Vogue: “This was the first piece of theatre where it was like: ‘Oh, this is my story, our story, the women’s story.’ It’s quite a shock that it’s taken this amount of time to see that on a commercial stage.” Her output in 2025 was prolific, with productions – alongside The Years at the Harold Pinter Theatre – including Icke’s Manhunt at London’s Royal Court, Mean Girls at the Savoy Theatre and Mrs. Warren’s Profession (starring Imelda Staunton and daughter Bessie) at the Garrick. Long-runners The Book of Mormon , Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Stranger Things continued to be West End favourites, while Friedman also produced The Importance of Being Earnest , starring Stephen Fry as Lady Bracknell, and Broadway hit Stereophonic in London. On tour, she produced Sunny Afternoon . Later in the year, she brought the nation’s favourite bear, Paddington , to the stage in a new musical that warmed critics’ hearts and brought a welcome family show to the West End. Her output on Broadway included Icke’s Oedipus, Dead Outlaw, Stranger Things and Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes starring Hugh Jackman. This was part of a new collaboration between Jackman and Friedman, who launched a “theatrical partnership” aimed at creating “intimate and accessible” live theatre in smaller-scale venues. Their company, called Together , includes director Ian Rickson. Friedman and Jackman insisted the move was not them “stepping away from Broadway or the West End” but rather “supporting and co-existing alongside them”. Last year was also a huge period of change for Friedman, whose company, Sonia Friedman Productions, announced a number of key personnel updates. This included the appointment of National Theatre Productions’ executive producer Kash Bennett as executive director , who succeeded Diane Benjamin. The appointment was billed as the beginning of a “major restructure” at the leading commercial production company, with former SFP finance director Jack Dingle rejoining in the new role of managing director . Friedman continued to be an outspoken advocate for theatre in 2025, urging the government to give the arts greater priority with a post dedicated solely to the sector. Later in the year, responding to much-needed changes to the curriculum that will give the arts greater prominence, Friedman said: “There is no society without culture. It’s not only positive but absolutely essential that the government is making these vital changes to the national curriculum . Access to the arts is fundamental for young people, not just to enrich their lives culturally, but because it has been proven to support mental well-being, nurture emotional intelligence, foster empathy and build community.” Passionate, dedicated and completely tuned into the sector, Friedman remains a leader of intense tenacity.

Back to Productions UP FOR GRABS This production began performances on 23rd May and closed on 13th July 2002. When one of Jackson Pollock's finest works slips quietly onto the market, a sharp and ambitious art dealer is determined to make her fortune. Risking everything she has through the course of a tense private auction, she plays off her wealthy clients against each other, manipulating their greed, lust and power as the price of the painting surges. David Williamson 's brilliantly funny satire on the art world opened in Sydney in February 2001 where demand for tickets was so overwhelming that the run was extended and all records were broken. This bitingly funny comedy delves into the darker recesses of the super-privileged. Focusing on their virtues, vices and ulterior motives, it is a hugely entertaining insight into what makes people tick when money is no object.
