'I remember the crunch of the gravel under my feet, and thinking my life might be over. I might have had all of my fun. And then him. And we don't get to choose who we fall for.'

???????The Bush Theatre reopens this week following the biggest capital project in the theatre's history. The £4.3million, year-long revitalisation of the venue by award-winning architects Haworth Tompkins has turned an old library built at the turn of the 20th Century into a fully accessible, modernised cultural building. 

Bush Theatre has announced today for While We're Here, a new play by acclaimed writer Barney Norris (Visitors, Bush Theatre; Eventide, Arcola Theatre). Alice Hamilton will direct Tessa Peake-Jones (Only Fools and Horses, BBC; Beacons, Park Theatre) and Andrew French (The Iphigenia Quartet, Gate Theatre; Boi, Boi is Dead, West Yorkshire Playhouse) in this world premiere which opens the Bush Theatre's brand new 60 seat Studio.   

Tessa Peake-Jones, Paul Kemp and Emily Burnett will appear in the world premiere of Tabitha Mortiboy's Beacons at Park Theatre (PARK90), running from 22 March - 16 April. Directed by Philip Wilson, this magical new play tells of love, loss and midnight ice cream sundaes under the starlit skies of the South Downs.  Beacons is presented by Attic Theatre Company. Press Night is Thursday 24 March, 7pm.

Last night was opening night for the revival of Torch Song Trilogy at the Menier Chocolate Factory, London. Check out these photographs of the cast, including leading man David Bedella, during their curtain call and after-show party.
