Marylebone Theatre, an exciting new London cross-arts venue, is launching with a rediscovery of an unfinished visionary work by Friedrich Schiller, which offers a revelatory perspective on the current crisis on Europe’s eastern borders.
Dmitry is written by Peter Oswald (resident playwright at Shakespeare’s Globe under Mark Rylance) after peerless dramatist Schiller’s play Demetrius, left incomplete at his death.

Artistic Director of Marylebone Theatre Alexander Gifford comments,
We are starting as we mean to go on with a production that is bold and important. Dmitry is a gripping rollercoaster ride through the battles and intrigues of the 17th century right to the heart of the politics of our times. It pairs our greatest living verse dramatist, Peter Oswald, with the internationally acclaimed director Tim Supple while drawing on the vision and inspiration of the incomparable Friedrich Schiller. I hope it will launch Marylebone Theatre as an important new presence on the London cultural scene, which develops brilliant new drama whilst also hosting and supporting the best artists in the fields of music, dance and poetry.
Dmitry plays from Thursday 29th September – Saturday 5th November 2022 and is recommended for ages 12+
