1605. Orthodox Russia stands alone, defiant against the Roman Catholic and Protestant West. The Kremlin has suppressed all opposition and keeps a ruthless grip on power with the support of the church and an appeal to nationalist sentiment. In Poland, a formidable young opponent appears: Dmitry. At his back a Polish army fuelled by fear of the Russian threat marches on Moscow.
BUT IS HE WHO HE THINKS HE IS?
An explosive new version of the great German writer Schiller’s last, unfinished play - resurrected in the unique, pulsating dramatic verse of Peter Oswald to be premiered in a production directed by Tim Supple.
A brilliant poetic drama that cuts to the psychological, political, and spiritual heart of the epochal Russian story on London’s newest stage.

Gwilym Bowen (tenor) with Paul McKenzie (piano): Schiller in Song
Tenor Gwilym Bowen comes together with pianist Paul McKenzie for a special recital to coincide with the groundbreaking theatre production of Dmitry at the Marylebone Theatre. Their concert features musical settings of Friedrich Schiller’s poetry, with repertoire including excerpts from Victorin de Joncières 1876 opera Dimitri, well-known and much-loved lieder from Franz Schubert (Der Pilgrim, Eine Leichenphantasie, Die Bürgschaft, Sehnsucht & Hektors Abschied) and more.
Acclaimed for the clarity and beauty of his singing and dynamic stage presence, British tenor Gwilym Bowen performs internationally with orchestras and ensembles of the highest calibre. Frequently described by reviewers as the “stand-out performance” (Independent, Guardian, Limelight Magazine) he is also a “Mozart tenor to the life and a little bit more” (Arts Desk) and celebrated for his interpretations of the J.S. Bach Passions “the most immersed I’ve seen an Evangelist in the drama” (bachtrack).
His recent recordings include Handel's Brockes-passion (BBC Music Magazine Choral Award finalist for 2020) and the world premiere recording of Dussek's Messe Solemnelle (Gramophone Magazine Choral album of the year 2021), both with the Academy of Ancient Music.
