Directed by Lyric Associate Director, Nicholai La Barrie (God of Carnage, Aladdin), the production is running at the venue until Saturday 06 June 2026 before transferring to Bristol Old Vic from 10 - 20 June 2026.

Staged on the 100th anniversary of its last appearance at the Lyric in 1926, this contemporary production of the classic comedy uncovers the love, betrayal and scandal that prevails in the rarefied world of modern, affluent London.

The cast features Emmanuel Akwafo (For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy) who returns to the Lyric after appearing in multiple pantomimes at the venue as Mason/Phipps, Jeff Alexander (Of Mice and Men) as Earl Of Caversham, Nimmy March (The Farmer’s Bride) as Lady Basildon, Suzette Llewellyn (Eastenders) as Lady Markby, Tamara Lawrance (Get Millie Back) as Lady Chiltern, Tiwa Lade (A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Headlong) as Mabel Chiltern, Chiké Okonkwo (New Tricks) as Lord Chiltern, Aurora Perrineau (KAOS) as Mrs Cheveley, Sule Thelwell (XO Kitty) as Vicomte De Nanjac and Jamael Westman (Hamilton) as Lord Goring, who returns to the Lyric after featuring in Aladdin in 2011.

The full creative team includes Director Nicholai La Barrie, Set & Costume Designer Rajha Shakiry, Lighting Designer Zeynep Kepekli, Sound Designer Holly Khan, Movement Director Alexzandra Sarmiento, Casting Director Heather Basten CDG, Assistant Director Gráinne Flynn, Intimacy Director Bethan Clark, Associate Sound Designer Vanessa Garber, Associate Costume Designer Mariama Bojang, Design Associate Yimei Zhao, Associate Lighting Designer Rick Mountjoy, Associate Movement Director Tinovimbanashe Sibanda, Company Stage Manager Claire Bryan, Deputy Stage Manager Jade Hunter and Assistant Stage Manager Jack Bond.

‘I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics.’ Present day. London. Sir Robert Chiltern is riding high on all the very best that modern life has to offer a man of his impeccable taste and pristine reputation. He’s got it all: the house, the wife, the style. All seems well until the arrival of the crafty Mrs Cheveley, who has a taste for drama and secrets to spill. Her revelations threaten disgrace, betrayal and public embarrassment: so how far will this perfect gentleman go to prevent his downfall? Scandal is trending. Forgiveness is optional. And perfection comes at a price.
