THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
by JOHN WYNDHAM
REALISED By J. JAMES-MOODY
30 June – 25 July 2026
WORLD PREMIERE
“And we danced, on the brink of an unknown future, to an echo from a vanished past…”
London, 1951: In an attempt to solve the world’s energy crisis, scientists engineer the Triffids: a biofuel crop that is highly efficient, strangely sentient, and disturbingly carnivorous.
When a freak cosmic event blinds most of the world’s population, one man wakes into a collapsing society where fear, opportunism, and chaos reign. As humans struggle to survive, an unexpected predator rises. Free from observation, the Triffids begin their ascent.
The beast is loose.
Adapted from John Wyndham’s iconic catastrophe novel, The Day of the Triffids erupts into vivid, immersive reality in this bold new theatrical experience by J. James-Moody.
“Consummate storyteller Jay James-Moody takes us to the farthest reaches of what theatrical magic can achieve.” Suzy Goes See

Feedback/Comments
Such fun!!
Excellent show
Excellent performance. Great work to bring the book to life.
Good production but the lighting made it a little difficult to focus on the actors.
The actors were fantastic, they did their best! At times you lost the flow of where every thing was heading. It did not help when the sounds of stomping feet drowned the dialogue. If you have read the book or seen the movie- you are set.
Good acting. Confusing storyline
A bit of a messy production, with some great acting & singing getting lost in the chaotic set-up.
Amazing play fantastic performance
Enjoyable presentation. Good acting. Gripping storyline.
