The Last Days of Liz Truss? will transfer to The Other Palace Studio in the West End for 16 performances after two sold-out runs at Kennington’s White Bear Theatre.

Oxia Theatre will present the world premiere of The Last Days of Liz Truss? by Greg Wilkinson, directed by Anthony Shrubsall with Emma Wilkinson Wright as Liz Truss.

The Playground Theatre is to hold a season of handpicked solo plays straight from this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  Running from October 16 through to 25 November, these five and 4 star reviewed and award nominated shows represent some of the very best work on show that featured at this year’s Fringe Festival.

The cast taking The Changeling to the soon-to-be bloody stage has been announced.  Bringing one of the greatest Jacobean masterpieces from Thomas Middleton and William Rowley to Southwark Playhouse this autumn, Lazarus Theatre and their courageous cast present a fresh, visceral, and gut-punching new ensemble production.  

What ties down the project is the one-woman aspect of it. Wilkinson Wright is a tremendous actress, but this direction gives her a staged personality disorder. The framing of the play throws it straight into the action; the performer modulates her voice to shape the different women, but the result is messy and unconvincing, especially if one isn’t familiar with this part of history. It’s not exactly the most streamlined solo show at the Fringe, but it’s among the most compelling subjects for sure.

There are plenty of riveting reflections, from the science versus belief argumentation, to how the awareness of mortality plagues our race, pushing us to research a more significant meaning to make sense of it.

While Greg Wilkinson’s play is incredibly thought-provoking, the majority of its themes are offered and then left unexplored. AI becomes the incidental catalyst for the downfall of the couple, but there’s more to it than that.

Omnibus Theatre has announced the inaugural AI Festival, an urgent response to the cultural conversation surrounding the benefits and dangers of rapidly developing Artificial Intelligence.

Seen through the eyes of teenager Peter Hain, the boy who was to become an ardent anti-apartheid campaigner and later a member of the Tony Blair cabinet and then on to The House of Lords, The Only White is the account of a desperate fight for freedom.

 Chelsea Theatre will present the world premiere of The Only White from 4th to 22nd April.
