The Popinjay Cavalier is a stage play written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, slated to open January 2027 at the West End Theater, London (England).
According to what little is known so far, this is a swashbuckler farce set in the 1830s.
Official synopsis: “Set in 1830s Europe, The Popinjay Cavalier is a rambunctious comedy of deception and disguise inspired by the grand swashbuckling epics of stage and screen. A sweeping celebration of theatre and its heightened romance, told with Tarantino’s signature style and unmistakable wit.”
Production companies: Sonia Friedman Productions, Sony Pictures Entertainment
