Synopsis

Production key info / links

‘A profoundly great evening.’
Die Welt

‘Wonderful… A superb production.’
Sueddeutsche Zeitung

A dark new thriller by Simon Stephens, set across three countries exploring human trafficking and the vice trade.

As the severed human head of an Estonian woman is found in a river in Hammersmith, two British detectives set off in search of her origins in Europe and how she came to be found dead. Fighting to cross international borders and language barriers, the pair enter a nightmarish world that will change one of them forever. Three Kingdoms tells the stories of trafficked women, the gangs and the police forces across Europe that attempt to control the trade.

Simon Stephens was last at the Lyric with the award-winning Punk Rock and A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky. This will be the first time that the Lyric Hammersmith, Germany’s Munich Kammerspiele and Estonia’s TEATER NO99 have collaborated together.
