History: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Popinjay%20Cavalier&action=history ; license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ . Synopsis paraphrased during individual-page model review. Catalog year basis: 2025 est: the production history says Tarantino began writing the play in January 2025 and announced completion in August 2025. This is a composition-year fallback, not a stage premiere. February–March 2027 performances remain future plans as of 6 November 2026.
Catalog year research: The Popinjay Cavalier : Reviewed 11 November 2026. Official site explicitly identifies global premiere at Phoenix Theatre in spring 2027. Scheduled, not yet occurred as of November 11, 2026; use 2027 estimate rather than 2025 writing year and retain flag. This assessment supersedes earlier catalog-year fallback notes for this record.
