Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink will be swapping Vecna for Shakespeare next year as she stars in a new version of Romeo & Juliet at the Harold Pinter Theatre, opposite Noah Jupe (Hamnet, A Quiet Place).
Directed by the highly acclaimed Robert Icke (Oedipus, The Doctor), performances will begin on Monday 16 March 2026 and play a strictly limited 12-week season until Saturday 6 June 2026. Tickets go on General Sale 10am Wednesday 19 November via romeojulietplay.com.
Tickets will be selling out fast as Sink prepares to return as Max Mayfield in the final season of Stranger Things which is being released over November and December.
Sink also earned a Critic's Choice nomination for her role in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale, and next year joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
On stage, she began her career on Broadway in Annie, and earlier this year earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her role in John Proctor Is the Villain. On making her West End debut in Romeo & Juliet Sadie said: “I was a Broadway kid, so I’ve always dreamed about doing a show in the West End. To get to do that in one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays under Rob's direction with Noah will be such an exciting challenge. London theatre has this incredible energy, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Noah Jupe is a rising force in film and television, best known for his critically acclaimed performances in A Quiet Place, Honey Boy and Ford v Ferrari. He will soon be seen on screen as Hamlet in Hamnet, in &Sons and The Carpenter’s Son. On making his stage debut in Romeo & Juliet Noah said:
“Theatre is something I’ve always been intrigued by. It seems like such a challenging and rewarding experience for an actor. So I was very excited to hear about this project. The combination of Romeo, Rob and Sadie is an opportunity you simply cannot turn down.”
Award-winner director and writer Robert Icke - he won an Olivier for his production of Oedipus starring Mark Strong - also commentated “This is one of the plays I’ve returned to again and again, and the opportunity to tackle it in London with two wonderful young actors is hugely exciting. It’s an explosive play, filled with heat and life, which confronts us with the fragility of our lives are and the momentousness of every last second. I can’t wait to get started.”
