London's largest panlingual theatre festival, Voila! Theatre Festival 2025, returns from 3–23 November with its most ambitious edition yet, spanning eight venues, 110 events, 70 languages, and 450 artists. 

The Uncontainable Nausea of Alec Baldwin

Produced by The Cockpit, the festival continues to champion early-career, migrant-led, and underrepresented artists, expanding its grassroots mission while celebrating intercultural and multilingual theatre. Its diverse programme includes performances, workshops, live streams, and scratch nights, with more than half of the shows performed bilingually and surtitles ensuring accessibility for all. 

Hosted at multiple theatres across the capital, this year's highlights range from Khai and Faizal's “Mendaki” and TG Works' “The Uncontainable Nausea of Alec Baldwin” to Penny Black's adaptation of “Absent” and Spivanka's Ukrainian folk-singing piece “Viddani/Devoted”.
