Even though she isn't discussing the plot as of yet, Rowling said that it will explain the death of Harry's parents as well as other parts of Harry's untold story. She said she didn't "want to say too much more, because I don't want to spoil what I know will be a real treat for fans". She went on to say, "To answer one inevitable (and reasonable!) question - why isn't Cursed Child a new novel? I am confident that when audiences see the play they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story."
The play was first announced back in December of 2013. It will run at the Palace Theatre in the summer of 2016.
