Wilton's Music Hall Announces Upcoming Events for May

Wilton's Music Hall is pleased to announce its schedule of exciting upcoming events beginning this May: 

Tuesday 31st May - Saturday 2nd July:  Into Thy Hands A new play by Jonathan Holmes

The Jericho House Utopia Season opens at Wilton's Music Hall with a stunning new co-production and world premier of Into Thy Hands.

In 1611 John Donne was at the restless centre of a changing world, in which a new Bible, a new science, and a decadent court tore at loyalties old and new. Juggling the demands of an increasingly whimsical King and the aftershocks of a colourful youth, Donne's attempts to keep body and soul together become increasingly desperate.

Into Thy Hands is a play about a man's struggle with faith and faithfulness.

"One of the most beautiful of theatres -
a place that casts a glow around anything that's put on there" - The Guardian
"Holmes' theatrical sensibility is undeniably powerful" - London Evening Standard
"Brilliant cutting edge theatre. An exceptional audience experience." - Jon Snow
