After a successful premiere at Greenwich+Docklands International Festival 2025, Fragments of Us returns, developed into a full-length work which will tour outdoor spaces across the UK.

New Vic Theatre will launch their 40th anniversary year with Joyce Branagh's new production of Steven Canny and John Nicholson's acclaimed adaptation of The Hound of The Baskervilles.

Due to ill health, Simon Russell Beale has departed the previously announced RSC / Hampstead Theatre production of Titus Andronicus. John Hodgkinson will step in.

Full casting has been announced for the acclaimed RSC production of Titus Andronicus which transfers to Hampstead Theatre for a strictly limited London run.

Full casting has been announced for the RSC's forthcoming production of William Shakespeare's bloodiest of tragedies, Titus Andronicus, directed by Max Webster, which runs in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon.

“What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?” More often than not, when Shakespeare is adapted into different formats, the text is largely lost but the story remains - not so in this case. Benjamin Britten and his partner Peter Pears opted to go without a librettist, instead taking Shakespeare’s words and shuffling parts of the play about a bit. It certainly makes sense that work from such a lyrical playwright could be directly transformed into song, and by and large it feels like quite a natural transition.

Marvellous, directed by Theresa Heskins runs @sohoplace, 4 Soho Place through 26 November 2022. Get a first look at photos here!

Staffordshire’s New Vic Theatre have today released a first look at the production images for the world stage premiere of Marvellous - the remarkable story of Stoke City FC kit man, clown and all-round hero, Neil ‘Nello’ Baldwin.

Staffordshire’s New Vic Theatre have today released rehearsals images for the much-anticipated world stage premiere of Marvellous - the remarkable story of Stoke City FC kit man, clown and all-round hero, Neil ‘Nello’ Baldwin.

Rehearsals are well underway at Staffordshire's New Vic Theatre for the much-anticipated stage production of Marvellous - the remarkable story of Stoke City FC kit man, clown and all-round hero, Neil 'Nello' Baldwin.

At a time when we're getting too many words, words, words from a bumbling Prime Minister and his cronies, what a relief to discover a charming, kind and life-affirming silent movie-style production that harks back to simpler times. The enticing live piano score by composer Zoe Rahman, is the dialogue, aided by the odd ditty (song arrangements by Sophie Cotton) and clever projected captions taking you back to the heydays of Victorian music hall and Hollywood silent pictures.

Charlie Chaplin will now be played by Danielle Bird, joining Jerone Marsh-Reid as Stan Laurel, Nick Haverson as Fred Karno and Sara Alexander playing all the other parts, including Chaplin's mother, and the piano! 

Told by an Idiot are bringing their international hit family show Get Happy to outdoor audiences at the Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, part of On Your Doorstep Programme. 

Adapted to be a socially distanced duet for one day only at GDIF, Upswing's dance-circus hybrid uses dance and acrobatics to playfully challenge our expectations of an intergenerational relationship.

Told by an Idiot brings its international hit family show Get Happy to outdoor audiences as part of Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, including performances at a basketball court and on an island.

You thought you knew more or less what to expect but, somehow, the entire show turned out to be a very refreshing surprise. Two days ago, the Théâtre des Capucins opened its doors to The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, a Told by an Idiot production, written and directed by Paul Hunter.

In 1910 the unknown Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel set sail for New York as part of Fred Karno's famous music hall troupe. On the journey, Charlie and Stan shared a cabin and then spent two years together touring North America, with Stan as Charlie's understudy.

Playfully poking at our expectations of relationships between ages and genders using dance, circus, and sound, Upswing's new dance-circus hybrid will be touring to arts festivals this summer. With Upswing's characteristic warmth and lightness of touch in gently introducing provocative issues to people of all ages, Catch Me plays with the first assumptions that people make when they see a couple who are of different generations, race and genders. The outdoor show is set in a teetering installation of 30 intricately balanced chairs, which will remain in situ between performances. Artistic Director Vicki Amedume was inspired to make the show after observing people's reactions to her brother, and the show continues Upswing's exploration of identity, and how this can be subverted and reinforced through performance.
