Birmingham Rep has announced another selection of new productions to add to its already stellar 2026 programme.

Get ready for an evening of sparkling tunes, tangled romances, and razor-sharp wit when Wild Arts bring Mozart's comic opera Marriage of Figaro to The House on Sunday 27 September.

Bursting with glorious melodies — from the fizzing overture to the heart-stopping beauty of ‘Dove sono’ and the jubilant finale — The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at his most brilliant. It’s an irresistible blend of comedy and chaos, set to music that’s simply impossible not to love.

Writer and performer Ty’rone Haughton brings a visceral and explosive one-man poetry show, Made You Look, to The Door on Wednesday 21 – Thursday 22 October. The show fuses poetry, physical  theatre, visual art, and sound to create a deeply emotional and profoundly necessary experience, interrogating masculinity and what it means to be an immigrant in a Britain growing increasingly hostile towards minorities and women.

Blackeyed Theatre and Arcola Theatre bring their world premiere production of The Turn of The Screw to The Studio on Thursday 29 – Saturday 31 October. A masterwork of psychological suspense, this brand-new stage adaptation by Olivier Award-winning playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, combines powerful performances, illusion and stylish theatricality, based on the seminal ghost story by
Henry James.

The Studio will also screen a triple-bill of National Theatre – Live productions. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, All My Sons, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge) on Saturday 18 April. Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play about one family, in the heart of the American dream.

Later, Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) joins Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) in The Playboy of the Western World, John Millington Synge’s riveting play of youth and self-discovery on Saturday 13 June. Pegeen Flaherty’s life is turned upside down when a young man walks into her pub claiming that he’s killed his father. Instead of being shunned, the killer becomes a local hero and begins to win hearts, that is until a second man unexpectedly arrives on the scene.

The NT Live triple-bill concludes on Thursday 30 July with Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals and Poldark) in the striking new staging of this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
