Following their sell out run of 2014, London's finest purveyors of cabaret noir are back this summer with a brand-new extravaganza.  The Black Cat Cabaret's latest production Nocturne, which runs from May to September at London Wonderground, stars the sensational soprano Lili La Scala as an unsleeping queen of the night who guides the audience on a supernatural voyage through a shadowy dream landscape.  Along the way there are encounters with showgirl sirens, otherworldly acrobats, shady troubadour tricksters and many other glorious late night eccentrics. Just the kind of company you'd expect from Black Cat's weird and wonderful world.

Yesterday, the nominations for the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards were announced at a press conference hosted by television stars Freddie Fox and Amanda Abbington.
