Why watch My Master Builder?
- Ewan McGregor strides across the stage in a character that's as complex and passionate as any lightsaber battle he's ever encountered in a galaxy far, far away in this enthralling drama about sexual politics. Not just Obi-Wan Kenobi, enjoy MacGregor's theatrical chops as he returns to the stage after 17 years
- The six-time Tony-winner Red and The Cripple of Inishmaan are only two examples of Michael Grandage's many laurels. Grandage has received Tony, Olivier, Evening Standard, Critics' Circle, and South Bank Awards for his work. McGregor calls this play by Lila Raicek “a very modern take on today’s sexual politics”
- The partnership is back, as McGregor and Grandage collaborated in the 2005 musical Guys and Dolls and the 2007 production of Othello, both held at the Donmar Warehouse. Grandage says “ The production is also a joyful reunion with Ewan McGregor — an extraordinary stage actor, working together for the first time on a world premiere”
- Passion, ambition, and the price of greatness are the themes explored in this drama, which draws inspiration from Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder. The characters in My Master Builder are complicated and messy, perfect for audiences who love thought-provoking theater.

Wyndham’s Theater
Playwright and theater mogul Charles Wyndham set up Wyndham’s Theatre in Charing Cross, London in 1899, a dream come true. Grade 2 listed in the West End, Wyndham's Theatre still has its original Louis XVI design. Even still, performance enthusiasts flock to the Delfont Macintosh Theatres, the current owners of the theater.
On November 16, 1899, the theater was inaugurated with a staging of "David Garrick" by T. W. Robertson. Notable guests, such as the Princess of Wales, graced the magnificent inauguration. Four stories made up the original plan: the Auditorium, the Balcony, the Royal Circle, and the Grand Circle. The renowned Delfont Macintosh theaters assumed control of the venue in 2005. Reopening in September of 2008, the theater had a brief 2007 closure for refurbishment.
