Almeida Theatre has announced a socially distanced season of three world premieres for Christmas 2020 and into 2021.

Almeida Theatre will launch its season on December 2 with Nine Lessons And Carols, a new play from Chris Bush examining themes of isolation and connection. 

Tom Stoppard's latest - and possibly final - play has few of the dramatic hallmarks you might expect from him: the dazzling linguistic flourishes, the formal trickery, the knotty metaphors and giddy metatheatricality. Instead, we have a relatively straightforward, linear piece, initially overburdened by information, but with an immense accumulative power that leaves audiences awed and tearful.

Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt opens tonight at the Wyndham's Theatre.

Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt, directed by Patrick Marber and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, continues at the Wyndham's Theatre until 13 June 2020.

Matthew Warchus' production of Noel Coward's comedy Present Laughter could be headed to Broadway next year.

Matthew Warchus directs Andrew Scott in Noel Coward's provocative comedy, Present Laughter, opening last night, 25 June, at the Old Vic. Let's see what the critics had to say.

Great Scott! His recent turn as Fleabag's Hot Priest made him a global sex symbol. Now, Andrew Scott reminds audiences that he's just as irresistible on stage, leading Matthew Warchus's absolute romp of Noel Coward revival with the kind of panache that makes this the comic performance of the year so far - and yet one also shot through with aching melancholy.
