Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and
the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany. It will receive its world
premiere in Londons West End at the Palace Theatre this summer and is the eighth story in the Harry
Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isnt much easier now that he is an overworked employee
of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a
past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a
family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the
uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has movement by Steven Hoggett, set by Christine Jones,
costumes by Katrina Lindsay, music & arrangements by Imogen Heap, lighting by Neil Austin, sound
by Gareth Fry, special effects by Jeremy Chernick, illusions & magic by Jamie Harrison, music
supervision & arrangements by Martin Lowe and casting by Julia Horan.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender
and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions.
