First-Ever Stage Adaptation Of ‘The Hunger Games’ Coming To London In 2024

The first-ever stage adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling book, The Hunger Games, will debut in London in the fall of 2024.

The play, which will be based on the first book in the dystopian series, will be directed by Matthew Dunster and adapted by playwright Conor McPherson.

“I’m very excited to be collaborating with the amazing team of Conor McPherson and Matthew Dunster as they bring their dynamic and innovative of The Hunger Games to the London stage,” Collins said in a statement.

“She has created a classic story which continues to resonate now more than ever,” McPherson said about Collins. “In a world where the truth itself seems increasingly up for grabs, The Hunger Games beautifully expresses values of resilience, self-reliance and independent moral inquiry for young people especially.”

Dunster was equally excited about transforming the beloved novel into a theatrical production.

“As soon as the producers said the title, I just said ‘Stop! I’m in,'” he explained. “I loved the Lionsgate film and the brutal and emotional power of this dystopian classic. My children had their heads in the books at the time… so I stole them and I came to appreciate the beauty of Suzanne Collins’ storytelling.”
