Coming of age HIV/AIDS drama It's a Sin comes to the London stage next year — as a show by the acclaimed Rambert dance company.
Russell T Davies' devastating (and devastatingly good) rollercoaster of a drama landed back in 2021, shaking audiences to the core with its depictions of young people caught up in the whirlwind of queer 1980s/90s London culture, and the cruel fallout from a disease that people didn't understand, and in many cases, chose not to.
Now, the BAFTA-nominated show will take on a new lease of life as a dance spectacular, envisaged by Rambert, the company behind Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby. Russell T Davies and the Pet Shop Boys (whose 1987 song was used as the show's title) will be executive producers, alongside Glyn Fussell, director of south London's Mighty Hoopla festival.
Says Rambert's Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer, who will choreograph and direct: "Storytelling sits at the heart of Rambert's mission. This is a story we feel compelled to tell right now, and collaborating with Russell — one of the most powerful storytellers of our time — is incredibly exciting."
Touring the UK from February 2027, It's a Sin will land at Sadler's Wells from 5-16 October 2027. Tickets for these London dates go on general sale from 6 July 2026, although tickets for the first leg of the tour (Manchester) are available from 4 June.
The announcement of It's a Sin's dance revival was made with a surprise on-stage preview at Mighty Hoopla over the late May bank holiday weekend.
It's a Sin, Sadler's Wells, 5-16 October 2027. Tickets on general sale from 6 July 2026.
