Birmingham Rep has announced two additional productions for its 2025/26 season of drama, thrillers and premieres.

Movie buffs have even more to look forward to from Tuesday 17 – Saturday 21 March 2026, when The Rep will be hosting the stage adaptation of the 2008 Swedish romantic-horror, Let the Right One In, by BAFTA and Olivier Award-winning playwright Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, His Dark Materials) following its sold-out run at the Royal Exchange, Manchester.
