What to Expect on Your School Trip
The Hunger Games: On Stage is “The city’s hottest new theatre ticket” (The Hollywood Reporter), now playing at the brand-new, state-of-the-art Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre. In this world premiere theatrical adaptation, Suzanne Collins’ global phenomenon, brought to life by Lionsgate’s blockbuster motion picture, erupts into a live spectacular of breathtaking scale.
Step into the world of Panem and follow Katniss Everdeen, the Girl on Fire, as her story of courage, hope and defiance ignites before your eyes in what The Guardian calls a “dazzling dystopia”. Pick your district. Prepare for an epic adventure.
Inside the Production
This is the first stage adaptation of Collins’ novel, adapted by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster. It plays in the round at the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, a purpose-built 1,200 seat venue created specifically for this production.
A new company takes over as the show enters its second year. From Friday 23rd October 2026, Elizabeth Anderson plays Katniss Everdeen, with Vinnie Copeland as Peeta Mellark and Neil McDermott as Haymitch Abernathy. John Malkovich continues to appear on screen as President Snow.
Why Book It for Your Next Drama Trip
The Hunger Games: On Stage links to Drama and English. It’s a strong fit for live theatre evaluation at GCSE and A Level, and the in-the-round staging gives students plenty to write about on design, staging and audience relationship.
The show is suitable for ages 12 and up, and sits best with KS4 and KS5 groups.
- Student tickets are £29.50 on Bands A and B
- One free adult ticket for every ten student tickets bought
- Minimum group size of 10 students
- School trip rates apply to Tuesday to Thursday evening performances and Friday matinees, excluding school holidays
There’s also a free Education Pack to download. It’s built for KS3 to KS5, with classroom tasks and activities you can adapt for different groups. Key learning opportunities are flagged throughout, and it works both for teaching the show as a live theatre production with GCSE Drama students and as a devising stimulus. Cross-curricular extension ideas are set out at the end, so it has life beyond the Drama department too.
