The Lion in Winter - by JAMES GOLDMAn

We’ll open 2026 spring season with James Goldman’s acclaimed historical play, set during Christmas 1183. The story follows King Henry II, his estranged queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their three sons as they reunite for Christmas—only to plunge into a web of ambition and rivalry over the royal succession. Brimming with razor-sharp wit, emotional tension, and political intrigue, the play delves into power, family conflict, and the complicated love-hate dynamic between Henry and Eleanor.

JERUSALEM - by Jez Butterworth

The Madrid Players brings to Madrid in May 2026 this award winning play described as ‘Arguably one of the best dramas of the twenty-first century’ (Guardian) and, ‘The Greatest British Play of the Century’ (Telegraph).

On St George’s Day, the morning of the local county fair, Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron, a local waster and modern-day Pied Piper, is a wanted man. The council officials want to serve him an eviction notice, his son wants to be taken to the fair, a father wants to give him a serious kicking, and a motley crew of mates want his ample supply of drugs and alcohol.
