Summary

- The swashbuckling comedy is set in 1830s Europe.
- This play could potentially be adapted into Tarantino's final film.
Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino is preparing to debut his new theatrical play, 'The Popinjay Cavalier,' in London's West End next year. This exciting project, confirmed last week, will feature Tarantino as both writer and director.
'The Popinjay Cavalier' is described as a "swashbuckling comedy" set in 1830s Europe, promising a "rambunctious comedy of deception and disguise." The play is currently in development, with an early 2027 debut planned. Details regarding the specific theatre, cast, and creative team are yet to be announced.
During a panel discussion in 2025, Tarantino revealed his work on the play, suggesting it might become his tenth and final directorial film. He stated that a successful run could lead to a cinematic adaptation, while a failure might prevent it from ever being filmed.
