The Wasp by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm will run at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 6th – 30th May, before transferring to Greenwich Theatre from 4th –12th September. This tense two- hander follows childhood friends Heather and Carla as they reunite under mysterious circumstances. First staged at Trafalgar Studios in 2015 and adapted into a feature film released in 2024, the production continues Greenwich’s focus on treating playwrights’ bodies of work as living archives rather than single-use moments.
CEO and Artistic Director of Southwark Playhouse Chris Smyrnios comments, 'We're very much looking forward to hosting this revival of Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's gripping play The Wasp at Southwark Playhouse Borough, and to be working with Greenwich Theatre Productions, as part of their exciting Spring season.'
