It’s slated for a 2027 London opening
After announcing in an interview last year that it was going to be his next project, and that he’d be moving to England (from Tel Aviv where he now lives) to work on it, anticipating that it could take up to two years of his life, we now have more details about Quentin Tarantino’s play.
Titled The Popinjay Cavalier and set in 1830s Europe, the show is being billed as a “swashbuckling stage comedy” and a “sweeping celebration of theatre and its heightened romance, told with Tarantino’s signature style and unmistakable wit”. Tarantino will also be directing the play but we have no word yet on any of the other creatives or cast involved, or what West End theatre it’ll be running at.
Tarantino famously said he’ll stop making movies after his tenth film – Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was his ninth, and he’s written a sequel to it, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, for David Fincher to direct for Netflix – so depending on the success of the play, could a film adaptation of it be his last one?
