Sacha Baron Cohen will headline Quentin Tarantino’s first West End play, The Popinjay Cavalier, opening at London’s Phoenix Theatre on 18 March 2027

Set in 1830s Europe, the comedy follows actor Rupert Sebastian Thomas Jr, whose ill-judged remarks in Paris turn a promising theatrical trip into a perilous adventure

Inspired by classic swashbuckling tales, the production will explore deception, disguise and provocative humour

Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sonia Friedman Productions are behind the show

Priority booking begins on Monday, followed by general sale, with tickets starting at £25.
