Toby Stephens and Chris Larkin to star in two London shows this autumn
The sons of the late actress Maggie Smith are set to perform on stage in London this autumn.
It was announced today that Toby Stephens (Oslo, Hamlet) is set to star as Captain Hook in the RSC’s revival of Wendy and Peter Pan.
Adapted by Ella Hickson based on J.M. Barrie’s much-loved story, Wendy and Peter Pan will play the Barbican Theatre in London from 21 October to 22 November 2025 as part of the RSC’s winter season at the Barbican Theatre.
Further casting for the show, which is directed by Jonathan Munby, is to be announced.
Toby’s brother Chris Stephens, whose stage name is Chris Larkin (Noises Off, Outlander), was also announced today as part of the cast of a revival coming to London.
Chris will star as Giles in The Gathered Leaves, Andrew Keatley’s poignant and powerful family drama, which returns to London’s Park Theatre for a strictly limited run.
The cast also includes Jonathan Hyde (Titanic) as William Pennington, Joanne Pearce (Hamlet, RSC) as Olivia, and Richard Stirling (Cecil Beaton’s Diaries) as Samuel.
The Gathered Leaves is playing at the Park Theatre from 13 August to 20 September 2025.
Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens are the sons of acclaimed stars of stage and screen, Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Robert Stephens.
Dame Maggie Smith died in September 2024, aged 89.
