Unapologetically upwardly mobile and working as a bailiff, Delroy’s life spirals out of control on one surreal day as he races to get to the hospital where his girlfriend Carly is about to give birth.

Starring Paapa Essiedu, Death Of England: Delroy is the searing story of a Black working class man searching for truth and confronting his relationship with Britain.

Following acclaimed seasons at the National Theatre, Clint Dyer and Roy Williams’ extraordinary series of three state of the nation plays, Death Of England, will be performed together for the very first time for a strictly limited season @sohoplace from Monday 15 July.

These three interconnected plays are, by turns, exhilarating, profoundly moving, funny but furious, and deeply theatrical. Watch one as a standalone experience or discover the connections between two or three of the plays as Michael, Delroy, Denise and Carly navigate the joys and challenges of what it means to be British in 2024.

Performances for Death Of England: Michael start from 15 July, Death Of England: Delroy starts from 23 July and Death Of England: Closing Time from 22 August when all three plays will then be performed in rep until 28 September.
