Sacha Baron Cohen is set to star in Quentin Tarantino’s first stage play, *The Popinjay Cavalier*, which premieres in London’s West End in 2027. Tarantino both writes the production for the stage and directs it, with Cohen attached as the lead performer.
Outlets report the play will run at the Phoenix Theatre. Coverage varies on the specific timing: some sources describe a March 2027 premiere, while others add that previews will begin in late February, with opening night scheduled for mid-March. One report also notes a planned run of about three months.
The press materials characterise the show as a swashbuckling comedy, drawing on Old Hollywood-style adventure stories. BBC News adds Cohen’s own remarks, saying he is “beyond delighted” to work with Tarantino, known for films including *Pulp Fiction* and *Borat*.
