Tilda Swinton to Appear in Stage Play in London, New York

Tilda Swinton will reprise her performance in the one-person show Man to Man in London and in New York.

The production will play London’s Royal Court Theatre starting Sept. 5, 2026, with a New York run in Spring 2027. This marks the first time Swinton, an Academy Award winner for her role in Michael Clayton , has returned to stage in more than three decades.

Swinton last appeared in the production in 1988 in London. Set in 1930s Germany, and written by Manfred Karge, the play follows a woman who takes on the identity of her dead husband. Stephen Unwin directs this production, with design by Bunny Christie and translation by Anthony Vivis.

Prior to the New York run in Spring 2027, the production will transfer to the Berliner Ensemble for a limited run in Germany.
