Review: RED SPEEDO, Orange Tree Theatre

The world of professional swimming has been dogged by stories of doping and Hnath's play seeks to explore the ethical aspects of this issue and how far someone will go to be a winner. So far, so intriguing, but Red Speedo feels unfinished and Hnath fails to either dig deep enough or offer any interesting commentary about these themes.

Photos: RED SPEEDO Opens This Week at Orange Tree Theatre

All new production photos have been released for Red Speedo at Orange Tree Theatre ahead of its opening night tomorrow. The production starring Finn Cole will then run until 10 August. Check out the photos here!

Review: FUERZA BRUTA: AVEN, The Roundhouse

Feeling like the wildest circus party in town, Fuerza Bruta (Spanish for “brute force”) return to the Roundhouse with their new show Aven.

Interview: Austria's AK Naderer Joins MOULIN ROUGE North American Tour

Austrias AK Naderer just finished her spectacular (spectacular) run as Nini in the record-breaking German Production of Moulin Rouge in Cologne. The red windmill creates a unique connection between the actors and the show. Your paths might cross again, sooner or later, like with Aaron Tveit, who returns to the Al Hirschfeld Windmill, staring as Christian, the role which brought him his first Tony Award.

Review: SISTER ACT THE MUSICAL, Dominion Theatre

After a gruelling few years of cancellations and Covid, Bill Buckhurst's production of Sister Act The Musical was first enjoyed at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2022. Having opened in March 2024 at the Dominion Theatre, a new cast continues the success of this pacy, slick and hugely enjoyable production.

Photos: First Look at the West End Return of 2:22 - A GHOST STORY

All new production photos have been released marking return of 2:22 - A Ghost Story to London’s West End. Donna Air will play Lauren and Joe McFadden will play Sam; Stacey Dooley will play Jenny, in her stage debut, and James Buckley reprises the role of Ben.

Review: A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, Theatre Royal Haymarket

The first major revival of Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge in a decade plays on the downfall of the 'Everyman'. Eddie Carbone is a hard-worker, popular, a man's man. But something deep and dangerous is gnawing at his heart.

Review: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, Theatre Royal, Glasgow

Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.

Review: BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY, Hampstead Theatre

Walter Washington is stuck. Stuck in his recently deceased wife’s wheelchair. Stuck in “a rent-controlled palace ruled by a grieving despot king” that he can ill afford. Stuck waiting for City Hall to pay him what he considers his due after a thirty year-long cop career ended in a shooting incident. That’s a whole lot of stuck.

Review Roundup: What Did the Critics Make of John Caird's Adaptation of SPIRITED AWAY?

Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning Spirited Away, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki is re-imagined for the stage by Olivier and Tony award-winning director of Les Misérables, John Caird. The original Japanese cast perform this extraordinary production with wildly imaginative puppets, dazzling set and costume designs and a live orchestra playing the magnificent original film score by Joe Hisaishi.

Review: SPIRITED AWAY, London Coliseum

Hayao Miyazaki’s legacy is one for the ages. The co-founder of Studio Ghibli revolutionised the Western consumption of anime and set a new standard for Japanese animated films. London isn’t a stranger to the stage adaptations of his creations: a major example is My Neighbour Totoro, which took up shop at the Barbican to great acclaim last year and has already announced a West End run for next year.
