The Jasper family has been a pillar of Black American political life for decades, until the youngest son comes home with an unexpected dinner guest and the version of itself the family has curated begins to fracture. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins won the 2025 Pulitzer for it. The Washington Post called it "a feast of jaw-dropping tea".
Thu Oct 8 – Sun Nov 8
Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, in which Atticus Finch's decency is tested rather than simply admired as he defends a wrongfully accused man. Sorkin, who created The West Wing and wrote A Few Good Men, returned to the theatre to write it.
Thu Oct 22 – Sun Oct 25
Nobody Cares is Laura Benanti's one-woman comedy show, stories and original songs about motherhood, people-pleasing and ageing, arriving after a run at the Edinburgh Fringe and two Off-Broadway engagements; the New York Times made it a Critic's Pick. Benanti, a Tony winner and five-time nominee, created it; music director Todd Almond co-wrote the songs, and Annie Tippe, who directed Dave Malloy's Octet, directs.
Tue Nov 24 – Sun Dec 13
In the marshes of South Carolina, Clora Abernathy opens her door to Adiaha Ufot, a stranger from Massachusetts. Both have given their lives to their parents, and what stirs between them raises the question of what might happen if they were good to themselves instead. It closes Mfoniso Udofia's nine-play Ufot Family Cycle.
Thu Jan 21 – Sun Feb 7
Emma Rice stages the Hitchcock chase, in which the advertising man Roger Thornhill is mistaken for a Cold War spy and pursued across America by crop duster and up Mount Rushmore. The Times of London called the production "glorious". The Daily Mail called it effortlessly chic.
Thu Feb 18 – Sun Mar 21
Talene Monahon's play moves between an Armenian man fighting for legal recognition in the American courts in the 1920s and a generation a century later chasing influence and fame. Part historical drama and part satire, it was a hit in its New York premiere.
Thu Mar 4 – Sun Mar 7
Chela De Ferrari's Peruvian company plays Hamlet with eight actors who have Down syndrome, weaving their own lives through Shakespeare's text with pop music and pointed humour. The play's questions about who is granted a full inner life land differently as a result.
Thu May 6 – Sun Jun 6
Devoiri enters an arranged marriage in Brooklyn's Hasidic Satmar community at seventeen; sixty years earlier her grandmother Fraida arrived in America alone at about the same age. One woman is joining the world the other chose. Joshua Harmon wrote the book, with songs by Benj Pasek and Shaina Taub.
