Through November it will be at the Leeds Grand Theatre, Theatre Royal Newcastle and Chichester Festival Theatre and in January 2026, the show will tour to Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, Milton Keynes Theatre, and the New Theatre Oxford.
Across February it will travel to the Norwich Theatre Royal, New Victoria Theatre in Woking, The Alhambra Theatre in Bradford and the New Wimbledon Theatre in London, before finishing its run at the Liverpool Empire and Birmingham Hippodrome in March.
“So for the National Theatre to commit to taking a show which has over 18 actors in it, and as a big set and it’s a big play, I feel like that… commitment to the National Theatre being truly national is the right decision.
Written by stage and screen writer James Graham, Dear England had a sell-out run at the National Theatre before it transferred to the West End in 2023, securing best new play at the Oliver Awards last year.
Dear England will open at the Theatre Royal Plymouth and will then tour to Nottingham’s Theatre Royal in September, before moving to The Marlowe in Canterbury and Sheffield Lyceum in October.
