It has been announced that the critically acclaimed sell-out Donmar production of Chloe Moss’ The Guilty, starring Russell Tovey, will transfer to the West End next year.

Directed by Felix Barrett, the production begins previews at the Harold Pinter Theatre on 16 January, and runs until 3 April. 

Russell Tovey said: “I’ve never quite had an experience like The Guilty, every single performance at the Donmar vibrated with an energy I’ve never felt on stage - audience and performer connected and intertwined - I cannot wait to perform it in The Pinter.”

Donmar’s Artistic Director Tim Sheader and Executive Director Henny Finch added: “Donmar audiences were mesmerised this summer by The Guilty in our intimate theatre, and we are excited that even more people will now get to experience this ‘thrilling shot of theatrical adrenaline’ (The London Standard) as it transfers into the West End.” 

Russell Tovey is troubled police officer Joe, stuck on desk duties, who takes a desperate 999 call from Emily. As he scrambles to decode fragmented clues from a woman in danger, a heart-stopping thriller unfolds. In a night filled with unsettling twists, Joe has a mounting sense that nothing is quite as it seems.

The creative team also includes set designer Alex Eales, lighting designer Anna Watson, sound designer Gareth Fry, video designer Luke Halls, and casting director Lotte Hines CDG.

Public booking opens at 10am on 16 October, with further info here.
