May 29, 2025: The Royal Court Theatre in London is bringing back the groundbreaking theatrical experience ‘ECHO’, and this time, it’s more star-studded than ever. Headlining the return are acclaimed actors Daniel Kaluuya, James Corden, and Dominic West, who will each take on the daring challenge of performing live on stage with no prior rehearsal or script access.
Following a sold-out run in 2024, Nassim Soleimanpour’s innovative and thought-provoking production returns to the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs from June 27 to July 5, before heading on an international tour.

In ‘ECHO,’ a different actor performs solo each night, guided in real time by Soleimanpour, who appears remotely from Berlin. The piece explores universal themes like belonging, identity, connection, and the concept of home, delivered with zero preparation by the performers—adding a thrilling layer of unpredictability.
Joining the headliners are a dynamic lineup including Lolly Adefope, Milly Alcock, Mel Giedroyc, Nish Kumar, Simon McBurney, Reece Shearsmith, and Juliet Stevenson. One surprise guest performer is still under wraps, promising more excitement for fans.
Directed by Omar Elerian, the show builds on Soleimanpour’s legacy of boundary-pushing interactive theatre, known for earlier hits like ‘White Rabbit, Red Rabbit’ and ‘Nassim’.
Kaluuya is set to perform on June 28, followed by Corden on June 30, and West on July 1. The run opens with Shearsmith on June 27 and closes on July 5 with back-to-back performances by McBurney and Stevenson.
