About the show

Conor McPherson has adapted the first book from Suzanne Collins’s series to create a live theatrical production directed by Matthew Dunster (2:22 - A Ghost Story, Hangmen, The Pillowman).

In a dystopian future, The Hunger Games ignite a thrilling battle for survival, where 24 young tributes are pitted against each other in an arena to fight to the death. Katniss Everdeen, a fearless and resourceful heroine, emerges as a symbol of rebellion as she fights not only for her life but for the hope of a nation oppressed by a ruthless Capitol.

In a brand-new epic stage production, The Hunger Games: On Stage is a gripping tale of courage, defiance, and the unbreakable human spirit.
