Our Artistic Director Thomas Atkinson-Joy has revealed what plays are in store for the 2026/27 Season at Wokingham Theatre, which runs from September 2026 to July 2027. Announcing my first season as Artistic Director of Wokingham Theatre is a hugely exciting and humbling moment for me, and I am beyond excited to finally be able to share it.

It questions how societies move forward after periods
