Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and A quiet place Noah Jupe will make his West End debut in a new production of Romeo & Juliet.
Directed by Robert Icke, the pair will play a strictly limited season of 12 weeks at the Harold Pinter Theatre, with performances starting on Monday 16 March 2026. Tickets go on general sale tomorrow morning (19 November) here.
Sadie is best known for her role as Max Mayfield in the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things. Earlier this year, she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her role in John Proctor is the villain. Speaking about making her West End debut, Sadie said: “I was a Broadway kid, so I’ve always dreamed of doing a show in the West End. To do it in one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays under Rob’s direction with Noah is going to be such an exciting challenge. London theater has this incredible energy, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Noah is a rising force in film and television, known for his roles in A quiet place, Wonder, Ford vs Ferrarias well as his upcoming role as Hamlet in The port. He will make his stage debut in Romeo & Juliet. “Theatre is something I’ve always been fascinated by,” Noah said. “It seems like such a challenging and rewarding experience for an actor. So I was very excited to hear about this project. The combination of Romeo, Rob and Sadie is an opportunity you just can’t turn down.”
Robert Icke is an award-winning theater director and writer, known for his bold reinterpretations of classic texts, including his recent Olivier Award-winning production of Oedipus. He said: “This is one of the plays I’ve come back to again and again, and the opportunity to tackle it in London with two wonderful young actors is hugely exciting. It’s an explosive play, full of heat and life, confronting us with the fragility of our lives and the significance of every last second. I can’t wait to get started.”
The creative team also includes costume designer Hildegard Bechtler, lighting designer Jon Cark, sound designer Tom Gibbons and video designer Ash J. Woodward. Additional casting and creative will be announced in due course.
Romeo & Juliet is produced by Empire Street Productions, as of late Electric with Brie Larson and Stockard Channing, Slave game starring Kit Harrington, First Face with Jodie Comer, and The pillow man starring Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton.
