2013's critically acclaimed new play LAND OF OUR FATHERS by Chris Urch will transfer to Trafalgar Studio 2 between 3 September and 4 October. Depicting the dramatic two weeks of a community of Welsh miners trapped down a collapsed coalmine, the production is directed by Theatre503's Artistic Director Paul Robinson.

The award-winning fringe venue Theatre503 has announced full casting for their SECOND LOOK production of Billy Roche's play A HAND FULL OF STARS. As previously announced Coronation Street actor and Boyzone star Keith Duffy (BIG MAGGIE, Druid Theatre Company) is to make his London stage debut as Stapler. Joining Keith will be actors Ciaran Owens (OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR at Stratford East and OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD for Out of Joint) as Jimmy, Michael O'Connor (ONCE, Phoenix Theatre) as Swan and Brian Fenton (THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN, Noel Coward Theatre) as Tony. Artistic Director Paul Robinson's production will run at Battersea's Theatre503 from Wednesday 30 April until Saturday 24 May 2014.

On Sunday 23rd March at St James Studio the stars of the West End will sing songs of Steven Luke Walker; featuring Alice Fearn, Rob Houchen, Rebecca Lock, Scott Garnham, Jordan Lee Davies, Ellie Kirk, Anna McGarahan, Elissa Clare Morgan, Martin Dickinson, Alastair Barron, and the GSA/The Union Theatre cast of 'Little Women'. Facilitated by ILIADebuts in association with create entertainment the concert starts at 7pm and tickets are available from £12.50-£25 at http://www.stjamestheatre.co.uk/events/the-songs-of-steven-luke-walker/ or by calling the box office on 0844 264 2140. Steven's work was performed at St James Studio in September last year alongside Jonathan Reid Gealt and Craig Adams. This will be an acoustic night dedicated solely to Steven's portfolio of work which is steeped in epic storytelling, sublime vocal writing and beautiful scoring as well as a self indulgent moment or two.
