Rachel O’Riordan, Artistic Director of Lyric Hammersmith Theatre said: “We are so excited to be able to share our Spring season with you. Our new season celebrates bold stories with a rebellious spirit. Next year, you can expect a ground-breaking UK premiere, heart-warming comedies and a provocative re-lensed adaptation of an 80 year old classic. This new season has something for everyone; it asks big questions but never loses sight of joy, hope, comic relief and escapism – theatre has the power to open your heart and your mind; join us in our beautiful West London home for laughter, entertainment and thrills.”
