Kristin Scott Thomas and Johnny Flynn will grace the stage at the Marylebone Theatre alongside the venue’s Patron, Mark Rylance, in a special gala performance of Shakespeare’s Venus and Adonis. This one-night-only event takes place on Sunday 17 November at 7:00pm, with proceeds supporting the theatre’s continued growth and artistic vision.
The performance comes with a fresh reimagining after the departure of the previously announced Derek Jacobi due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. Kristin will read Venus, Johnny will take on Adonis, and Mark Rylance will narrate, creating an intimate and exquisite interpretation. The production also benefits from the directorial expertise of Ian Rickson, promising an unforgettable evening of poetry and performance.
Since its opening in 2022, the Marylebone Theatre has become a cultural gem, welcoming over 80,000 patrons, earning the Off West End Award for Best Production, and receiving glowing reviews for its innovative programming.
Don’t miss this extraordinary event celebrating Shakespeare, artistry, and the continued success of one of London’s brightest theatre spaces.
