The new version of the play, which deals with romance and desire, will run at the theatre from June 11 to July 11. It features music by Arthur Darvill and design by Dick Bird.
Other highlights of the spring/summer season include a new collaboration with Sadler’s Wells entitled Pictures From an Exhibition and will run in May. Daniel Kramer will direct the dance theatre piece inspired by Modest Mussorgsky’s classic 1874 piano suite.
Bryony Lavery will join forces with Sound&Fury to bring Kursk to the Young Vic stage from June 3-27. The show is based on the Russian submarine disaster of 2000.
The line-up will be completed by previously announced productions of Kafka’s Monkey, Katie Mitchell’s After Dido, the return of You Can See the Hills, Bay, The Indian Wants the Bronx, and Sus.
