About Birdsong at Alexandra Palace Theatre in London

Sebastian Faulk's best-selling novel returns to London stages in 2025 with a brand-new, critically-acclaimed performance of Birdsong.

Stephen Wraysford is an ordinary young Englishman living in pre-war France - but his tale becomes extraordinary when he meets the beautiful Isabelle Azaire and embarks upon a dangerous love affair.

As World War I breaks out around him, Stephen must lead his men through sprawling underground tunnels and into the chaos of the Battle of the Somme - all whilst leaving his beloved Isabelle behind. 

Faced with the unprecedented horror of war, Stephen's world explodes around him as he clings to the memory of Isabelle... the only person that brings him peace. 

"Captivating... kept the audience at the edge of their seats. What a compelling performance!" - Fairy Powered Productions
