From Stage to Westeros: Theatre Veterans in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
by Josh Sharpe - Jul 5, 2026

Whether you are Team Black or Team Green, there is probably a stage veteran on your side. Like other HBO shows such as The Gilded Age and Julia, the Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, is full of Broadway, West End, and stage alums. 

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Jun 30, 2026

'This green plot shall be our stage,' declares Quince, which couldn't be more fitting for Atri Banerjee's quirky, new production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. After all, there's a particular magic in this venue, with its dreamy roses, exotic ducks and fairy lights twinkling in the trees.

Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Starring Adrian Lester, Noël Coward Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 26, 2026

Edmond Rostand’s classic comes back to the West End with a new adaptation by Simon Evans and Debris Stevenson. This is a drastically different approach from the last time we saw Cyrano on a commercial stage. If Jamie Llloyd redefined the story in 2019, Evans grounds it back to its roots in an open-hearted celebration of emotion, language, and empathy. With Cyrano, Rostand explores the timeless relation between inner and outer beauty. Adrian Lester shines as the big-schnozzed poet, joined by the remarkable Susannah Fielding as Roxane.

Review: RELICS, Lyric Hammersmith
by Clementine Scott - Jun 24, 2026

At first Relics seems straight out of a classic, deadpan British sitcom. Our characters – four siblings divvying up the possession of their recently deceased mother – are experiencing one of life’s most harrowing moments, but their conversation revolves around minutiae in council planning documents and parking difficulties. You can almost hear the laugh track.

Review: THE MISANTHROPE, starring Sandra Oh
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 24, 2026

If Molière was preoccupied with censorship and retaliation, Crimp shows an obsession for cancellation. He reveals an anti-internet and anti-woke stance, with many invectives betraying his own fears.

Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, Shakespeare's Globe
by Clementine Scott - Jun 19, 2026

With its whitewashed walls and actors swanning around in linen suits, inevitably the Globe’s summer staging of Much Ado About Nothing will recall Kenneth Branagh’s Tuscany-set film version from 1993. That is, until they whip out the oversized animal masks.

Review: DRIFTWOOD, Kiln Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 9, 2026

“It’s like vultures circling a carcass,” one character in Driftwood says of the uneasy situation in Trinidad a few years shy of independence. This is the febrile setting for Casualty actress Martina Laird’s debut play, a portrait of a nation told entirely within the walls of one Port of Spain gentleman’s club, named ALMA.

Review: WE HAD A WORLD, Hampstead Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jun 8, 2026

On her deathbed, US playwright Joshua Harmon’s grandmother granted him permission to write a play about their family, on the condition that it be as “brutal and vitriolic” as possible. The result is We Had A World, a Pandora’s Box of generational trauma – indeed, the actor playing Harmon begins by opening up a literal box.

Interview: 'It's My First Ever Professional Shakespeare!': Actor Misia Butler on A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
by Kat Mokrynski - Jun 15, 2026

Recently, we had the chance to speak with Misia Butler, who is playing Lysander, one of the four lovers, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We discussed what made him want to be a part of this production, what it is like to prepare to perform theatre outdoors and even why he thinks Shakespeare is still so relevant today.

Review: MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN, Shakespeare's Globe
by Gary Naylor - May 17, 2026

Putting a radical translation of the classic play into so iconic a venue doesn't quite work for all its chutzpah in conception and execution
