The Young Vic has announced its 2026/7 season, featuring a bold mix of world premieres, major revivals and international work. From a new musical adaptation of Thelma & Louise to star-led productions and a Fringe-inspired takeover, this is one of the theatre’s most ambitious programmes in recent years.

A bold new musical tackling antimicrobial resistance, Lifeline blends history, romance and modern medicine into an ambitious theatrical experience. With strong performances, particularly from Kelly Glyptis, the show offers moments of clarity and charm. However, its overcrowded narrative and competing storylines prevent its most powerful ideas from fully landing.

A five star triumph at Soho Theatre, Dead Inside sees Riki Lindhome blend offbeat songs with a fearless and deeply personal journey through infertility to motherhood.

A new Scottish musical inspired by Sir Alexander Fleming arrives in London this spring. LIFELINE blends love, science and urgent modern themes at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.
