Letitia Wright, Cate Blanchett and Sandra Oh to star in National Theatre shows

Lineup for 2026 includes a Molière adaptation and a mash-up of Sophocles and Ingmar Bergman

Cate Blanchett, Sandra Oh and Letitia Wright will form part of the National Theatre’s starry, female-led lineup for its 2026 season that its artistic director promises will “theatrically explode”.

Oh, the Killing Eve and Grey’s Anatomy star, makes her National Theatre debut in an adaptation of Molière’s social satire The Misanthrope, which is directed by the theatre’s director and joint chief executive, Indhu Rubasingham.
