Florian Zeller’s The Son West End tickets available now!

Don’t miss your chance to get The Son tickets for the West End transfer of Olivier, Tony and Moliere awards winner Florian Zeller’s newest show fresh from the Kiln Theatre in London. Following his incredible critically acclaimed works The Father and The Mother, and the success of its UK premiere, The Son is expected to take the West End by storm when it transfers to London’s Duke of York’s Theatre this August.

What is The Son by Florian Zeller about?

When a family starts to crumble the son begins to spiral. Nicholas has been ditching school, lying to his family and hiding strange things under his bed. Is this typical adolescent rebellion or do his actions point to something his family should be more worried about?

Nicholas thinks moving in with his father and his new family might be the fresh start he needs. When that doesn’t work out he decides that moving back to his mother’s might be the answer. If changing feels like the only way to survive, what will he do when he runs out of changes?

Cast of the The Son Duke of York’s run

The UK premiere of The Son at London's Kiln Theatre featured Amanda Abbington, best known for her roles as Mary Watson on the BBC hit drama Sherlock and Miss Mardle in Mr Selfridge, played Anne. Laurie Kynaston took to the stage as Abbington's troubled son, Nicolas. Kynaston was in the Gielgud Theatre production of The Ferryman and recently worked on the Netflix series Derry Girls.\

The West End cast for the London Duke of York's Theatre transfer of The Son will see Amanda Abbington, Laurie Kynaston, Amaka Okafor, and John Light reprise their roles from the hit Off-West End production.

Acclaimed writer Florian Zeller brings The Son to London!

Florian Zeller is a world-renowned writer who has received many awards and nominations including a Moliere Award (plus 4 additional nominations), a Tony Award, and 2 Olivier Awards. The Son makes its West End debut on the heels of a sell-out, five-star run at the Kiln Theatre. The undeniable success of his previous plays The Mother and The Father coupled with the strength of the show’s UK premiere mean that tickets for The Son are expected to be in incredibly high demand.

Graham Pegg

Gurbaxo Jassal

Judy

Antonia Turner

brilliant performances.really interesting play.

Happy

It was a great play and good cast! I enjoyed it!

Mrs Jane Cook

This compelling drama was superbly acted by a cast well suited to their roles. The transition from place to place was well managed with a minimum of alteration to the set but with appropriate props the scenes were well depicted. The topical subject of teenage angst and self harming, to those of us who are familiar with this scenario, was very well portrayed. It was a thoroughly well worth while theatre trip for us.

Christiane Di Matteo

No interval.

ROBIN C MANN

The acting was superb! You were taken on the journey of the relationship between son and father, which any father/son could relate to. Extremely moving and a great company of actors!

Jennifer Keys

Excellent, quirky but sad play all about human nature.

Thelma Frye

Brilliant play, excellent acting and production.

Nikki rolfe

Having seen the father and mother by the same playwrite and loving them both , I had high expectations. We were slightly disappointed though at the rather predictable nature of the play. We also found some of the rather stereotypical roles a bit disappointing too. Good set and acting though.
