Back in 2003, before writing the superb Enron, A Very Expensive Poison and the Emmy Award-winning TV series Succession, Lucy Prebble's first play The Sugar Syndrome made its debut at London's Royal Court. It now comes to Richmond's Orange Tree in its first major revival, in a darkly funny and thought-provoking exploration of the internet's potential to bring the most unlikely people together.
London is never short of temptations, whether splashy West End shows, epic dramas or bold fringe offerings. From a starry Beckett revival to Tom Stoppard and magical mishaps, here are some of this month's most eye-catching openings.

With a book by Terrence McNally, music and lyrics by David Yazbek and now under the direction of (and also featuring choreography by) Terry Norgeot, The Full Monty has arrived at the Provincetown Theatre, in association with Peregrine Theatre Ensemble. Based on the cult-hit film of the same name, this ten-time Tony-Award nominee is one of the most unconventionally 'real' musicals you are ever bound to say; it is a surprisingly dramatic story trapped in the body of a semi-comedic musical, and the songs are an added bonus in bringing both its characters and the audience away from real-life issues by the comedic way in which they are dealt with.
Peregrine Theatre Ensemble begins performances of their summer musical The Full Monty with two special 'BEAR WEEK' preview's on July 15th and 16th followed by their OPENING NIGHT on July 18th with an optional pre-performance reception.
The Tricycle Theatre has announced the return of the Tricycle's 19-25-year-old Young Company's SWITCH for a further four performances in June. This will be the final Tricycle Young Company performance in the building before the Tricycle Theatre closes temporarily for a period of Capital renovations from July 2016.
Casting has been announced and rehearsals are underway for Peregrine Theatre Ensemble's first production of their 2016 season: The Little Dog Laughed by Douglas Carter Beane. Opening June 20th - July 7th at the Provincetown Theater.
