Absolutely amazing, unlike any other show I've seen! Some characters were stronger than others (we loved Katniss!) but the whole thing was just incredible! They were great athletes, and the choreographed numbers were mesmerising. Even the technical problem they had in the first half (the show was put on hold for about 15 minutes) didn't detract from enjoying the experience. I hope I get to see it again ☺️

The Hunger Games: On Stage marks the first theatrical adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ internationally acclaimed novel and the Lionsgate film. Rather than retelling the story as a musical or spectacle-driven rehash, the production focuses on power, surveillance, and moral choice within a live theatrical framework. Adapted by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, the show utilises movement, illusion, sound design, and live staging to transport audiences into Panem’s controlled world. A specially designed auditorium allows the production to integrate action, media, and performance in ways not possible on a traditional proscenium stage. The result is a grounded yet expansive interpretation that stays faithful to the source material while embracing the immediacy of live theater.
Storyline
In the nation of Panem, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister’s place in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death designed to maintain control over the districts. As the Games unfold, survival becomes inseparable from performance, loyalty, and rebellion. How Katniss navigates those choices, and what they mean beyond the arena, forms the heart of the story.

Hunger Ganes was a phenomenol show. The theatre was made especially for the hunger games play based on the movie. 360 degree theatre that looked like a movie set. Acting was superb. Lighting effect were very creative. Peter acting was outstanding, Cathkin singing and energy was something to see . We were in front row. Make it so much better up close .

Booking this performance we were incredibly intrigued to see how the use of a 360° stage would be utilised by the actors, wow did they blow us away. The continuous movement to keep every single side of the audience involved. The stage floor moving as well as some seats made this show exceptional!
