There will be no outdoor theatre experiences this summer, but that hasn't stopped Shakespeare's Globe from revisiting one of the stalwarts of the summer season; Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Dominic Dromgoole's 2013 production is a classic Elizabethan romp, full of silliness and fun.
The NT marks the 100th anniversary of the first women in the UK gaining the right to vote, with a series of rehearsed readings, talks and events, as well as a free exhibition in the Lyttelton Lounge.

Daniel (James Lance) and Oliver (Joshua Silver) are the picture of a happy gay marriage. Now, they're about to have their first baby with their closest friend Priya (Chetna Pandya) acting as a surrogate. Chris Thompson's Of Kith and Kin, which premiered at Crucible Sheffield last month, is a powerful and touching play that questions family values, parenthood, masculinity, and the subtle effects of abuse.
Chris Thompson's new play offers a witty and cutting take on the meaning of family, performed by an excellent cast.

Michael Grandage Company and King's College London today announce a charity performance of Anna Ziegler's Photograph 51 with Nicole Kidman as Rosalind Franklin.
After earning rave reviews for her portrayal of DNA pioneer Rosalind Franklin in Anna Ziegler's new West End play PHOTOGRAPH 51, Nicole Kidman is in talks with Michael Grandage to bring the project to the silver screen.
'The entire system is built around, 'Here's our work, now tell us how we did through a prize.'
Anna Ziegler's new play Photograph 51 is one of this year's more anticipated theatrical events, in part due to its star-studded cast: Nicole Kidman and Stephen Campbell-Moore take the lead, under the wonderful direction of Michael Grandage. This production seems to be all I have come to expect from the Michael Grandage Company: it is brave, articulate and just plain interesting.
The Michael Grandage Company presents the UK premiere of Anna Ziegler's PHOTOGRAPH 51, opening tonight 14 September at the Noel Coward Theatre and running until 21 November. Let's see what the critics had to say...

Nicole Kidman recently spoke with the Daily Mail during her third week ('which is apparently the toughest,' she says) of rehearsals for her role as DNA pioneer Rosalind Franklin in Anna Ziegler's PHOTOGRAPH 51, beginning performances with Michael Grandage Company this weekend on 5 September. The play opens at the Noel Coward Theatre on 14 September and runs until 21 November. And Kidman is already hoping her schedule will allow her to bring the show to Broadway!
