5 Reasons to See Global Majority, the Political Thriller at the Bush Theatre

London Theatre | 25 November 2026 – 16 January 2027

Looking for something sharper than panto this winter? Global Majority, a new thriller by award-winning writer Chris Fung, opens at the Bush Theatre in Shepherd’s Bush. Here are five reasons to go.

1. A gripping premise

Brian Tran is being interviewed. If he succeeds, he could become the world’s most powerful leader. But as the interview tests become increasingly brutal, he’s forced to face what might happen if he fails. It’s an unflinching look at twisted family loyalty, cabalistic elites and what we sacrifice for proximity to power.

2. A prize-winning new play

The play won the 2026 Ilfeld Prize, and Chris Fung also won this year’s Tony Craze Award. Fung has performed in West End shows including Frozen and Cyrano de Bergerac, and his previous play The Society for New Cuisine earned an Offies Assessor’s Choice.

3. A strong cast

Jeremy Ang Jones (Hijack, Grantchester) plays Brian, with Poppy Gilbert (Stay Close, My Oxford Year, Sherwood), Edward Baker-Duly and Cade Brannan. It’s directed by Rupert Hands, whose credits include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the London Palladium.

4. A theatre with a track record

The Bush gave the world Baby Reindeer, now a hit Netflix series, and has won the Olivier for Best New Production in Affiliate Theatre four years in a row. It’s one of London’s best places to see bold new writing.

5. Affordable and accessible

Tickets range from £15 to £45, and under-30s and local residents can get up to £10 off with free membership. There are relaxed, BSL-interpreted, captioned and audio-described performances throughout the run.
