Èdouard Louis’ book about love and anger is loved around the world. In the story, a son returns home to his remote part of northern France.

An unflinchingly unrelentingly brutal production, a Little Life is not for the faint of heart. But it deserves to be seen nonetheless.

Revenge is a dish best served old seems to be the message in Age Of Rage, the latest of Ivo van Hove’s latest extreme theatre productions as he serves up seven Greek stories, all in gloriously guttural Dutch. Read our critic's review.

The Internationaal Theater Amsterdam will reopen on June 1, with Who Killed My Father.

Who Killed My Father by Edouard Louis is an anger-driven declaration of love to his father. At the same time, it is an indictment of the political elite who neglected and abandoned labourers such as Louis' father. Van Hove has translated the novel and adapted it as a monologue for Hans Kesting.

Ivo van Hove might be busy at the Broadway Theatre as the director of the new revival of West Side Story, but his creative energy will move to a new project this spring.

With French director Julien Gosselin, Internationaal Theater Amsterdam will be adding one of the world's greatest young directing talents to the theatre company.

The performance - with Eelco Smits, Hans Kesting, Maria Kraakman, Chris Nietvelt et al. - will have its world premiere in Amsterdam on 17 March. Performances on Thursday 21 and 28 March will be surtitled in English.

Tony Award winner Ivo van Hove will direct a stage adaptation of the bestselling 2015 novel A Little Life. The stage adaptation will make its premiere this fall at Amsterdam's Stadsschouwburg Theatre, with performances beginning September 20th an opening on September 23rd.

Gary Naylor looks back on 101 shows reviewed in 2017 and picks the best of the best.

Picking out the best of UK theatre over the past 12 months is a curious task - akin to judging avocado pears against conference pears, we're comparing like with like only in the broadest sense. So, with that necessary caveat, here are some of my nominations for the BroadwayWorld UK Awards 2017.

Extraordinary, astonishing, unmissable five star production that brings three of Shakespeare's plays up to date in an electrifying production that should not be missed.
