RSC Announces Casting For THE WHIP

As the 19th Century dawns, politicians of all political persuasions gather in London to abolish the slave trade once and for all. But will the price of freedom turn out to be a multi-billion pound pay off to the slave owners, even though such a bailout could drive the country into economic and political ruin?

BroadwayWorld UK Awards 2019: Gary Naylor's Recommendations

UK Theatre in 2019 was like a box of choccies made by Mr Wonka - a delightful set of surprises, with just a hint of menace to keep you on your toes. Many tremendous achievements did not make the BroadwayWorld shortlist, but many did, and here's my pick of them.

BWW Review: THE GLASS MENAGERIE, Arcola Theatre

Tennessee Williams's first success The Glass Menagerie lands at Arcola Theatre in an exciting and tremendously thought-provoking production directed by Femi Elufowoju jr. It's 1937 in St Louis. Amanda Wingfield's (Lesley Ewen) hopes that her two children will lead a more stable life than hers grapple with their own sense of individuality. While their mother lives in a past made of suitors and debutantes worrying about the future of her unmarried daughter Laura (Naima Swaleh) - a shy and scarred young woman who spends her days polishing her glass trinkets - Tom (Michael Abubakar) desperately wants to break free from his dead-end job at a shoe warehouse.

Cast And Creatives Announced for THE GLASS MENAGERIE

The cast for Femi Elufowoju jr's production of The Glass Menagerie is confirmed as Michael Abubakar as Tom Wingfield, Lesley Ewen as Amanda Wingfield, Charlie Maher as Jim O'Connor and, in her debut performance, Naima Swaleh as Laura Wingfield.
