has unveiled 12 new productions and has also confirmed that he will step down after 10 years as director in mid-2025 when his current term comes to an end.

At the National Theatre’s Olivier Theatre from February 2024 is “Nye,” a new play by Tim Price charting the life of Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan and his battle to create the NHS, directed by Norris and with Michael Sheen playing Bevan. Later in the year is a new production of William Shakespeare’s Roman tragedy “Coriolanus,” directed by National Theatre Associate Lyndsey Turner and with David Oyelowo in the title role.

Meanwhile at the National Theatre’s Dorfman Theatre, from September 2023, National Theatre deputy artistic director Clint Dyer reunites with Roy Williams for “Death of England: Closing Time.” Exploring family dynamics, race, colonialism and cancel culture, this is the final, standalone chapter of the “Death of England” series. The cast is Jo Martin and Hayley Squires.

“Underdog: The Other Other Brontë” will then play from March 2024, written by Sarah Gordon and directed by Northern Stage artistic director Natalie Ibu, who both make their National Theatre debuts in this co-production with Northern Stage. The play is an irreverent retelling of the lives of the Brontës.
