Get ready for an experience that will crawl under your skin and stay there. Pacheco Theatre, known for bringing gritty, high-impact drama to the London theatre community, presents the psychological thriller, BUG, by celebrated playwright Tracy Letts (Pulitzer Prize winner for August: Osage County). Following its acclaimed Broadway debut in its 30th anniversary year, and more timely than ever, BUG is a must-see in its upcoming limited run.
Set in a claustrophobic Oklahoma motel room, BUG plunges into a spiral of loneliness, paranoia, and conspiracy theory as a solitary waitress, Agnes White, connects with a mysterious young drifter, Peter Evans. What begins as a spark of hope quickly blurs the line between delusion and reality, fuelled by a creeping, unseen threat.
BUG runs at the TAP Centre for Creativity from December 3 – 12, 2026, for only six exclusive shows.
Pacheco Theatre is proud to partner once again with Jordan Thomas and London Trauma Therapy, who will host a post-show Q&A following BUG‘s opening night performance.
