Antic Disposition's A Christmas Carol is as traditional as a roast goose and Christmas pudding. Set in the soaring, wood-panelled splendour of Middle Temple Hall, it is also a most atmospheric theatrical treat.

David Burt will play Scrooge for a fifth year with Richard Dempsey joining the cast direct from Tammy Faye at the Almeida Theatre as Bob Cratchit in award-winning Antic Disposition's much-loved musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.

Safaa Benson Effiom's debut play promises much for the future, with a script that balances drama with an important message

Danielle Kassaraté (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Gielgud Theatre; The Color Purple, Curve Leicester), Richard Holt (Swallows and Amazons, National Theatre; Mr Popper’s Penguins, UK & US Tour) and Jude Chinchen (Casualty, BBC; Boys, Sky) will bring to life Safaa Benson-Effiom’s powerful debut play Til Death Do Us Part at Theatre503 this May.

Being seventeen is hard enough without having to shoulder a climate emergency. At school, Zoe (Mei Henri in her first stage appearance) is a paladin of justice and Rain (Jordan Benjamin) is the new boy who just moved to the neighbourhood. While protestors gather on the east coast to rally against the big corporation East Coast Energy Solutions, the girl convinces Rain to set out on a cross-country trip to find her mother and save the world in the same breath. Crystal Skillman’s play is a dreamer’s guide to heroic activism. It’s a piece with good intent, euphoric in its stagecraft but unconvincing in its story.

Rain and Zoe Save the World, written by Crystal Skillman with original music by Bobby Cronin and directed by Hersh Ellis, will open February 17th at Jermyn Street Theatre in London.

Jermyn Street Theatre has announced the cast for the second production of its Outsiders Season, the world premiere of award-winning playwright Crystal Skillman's Rain and Zoe Save the World.

This Christmas there seem to be more productions of Dickens' festive tale than ever. This is the fourth revival of Antic Disposition's musical production of A Christmas Carol. Its return to the spectacular setting of the impressive Middle Temple Hall, with its breathtaking hammer-beam roof, could not be more celebratory or Dickensian. Dickens himself studied there and walking to the hall through the cobbled streets lit by gaslight is a distinctly atmospheric experience.

Les Enfants Terribles and ebp in association with Creature of London are delighted to announce the cast of "ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDERGROUND" which returns to The Vaults at Waterloo from 15 April 2017.

1920s London. Home from the War, flat-broke and unemployed, our twenty-something heroes Tommy and Tuppence embark on a daring business scheme: 'The Young Adventurers Limited'… willing to go anywhere, willing to do anything. No unreasonable offer refused. But their first assignment plunges them into more danger than they ever imagined as they quickly find themselves sucked into a perilous world of political intrigue, criminal conspiracy, murder and mayhem. Loyal, pragmatic Tommy is the perfect foil for pretty, plucky Tuppence, a whirlwind of infectious exuberance. Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime follows the fortunes of this adorable intrepid twosome - the well-known recurring characters in Christie's novels and short stories.
