Final casting has been announced for the new stage adaptation of one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century. Written by James M. Cain, this bold, seductive production stars Hollywood icon Mischa Barton (The O.C.) in her UK stage debut.

Delightful new musical (based on the much loved novel and film) that deserves a wider audience than its short run affords

A cargo ship sinks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, causing misery and pain to all involved. Amongst the survivors is a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi; accompanying him is a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a Royal Bengal tiger – all of whom are attempting to co-inhabit a small lifeboat. It sounds extraordinarily unbelievable, but surely even in the most surreal there is truth to be found. It is up to Lulu Chen and Mr Okamoto – lawyers hired by the ships firm – to get to the bottom of this magical mystery.

New photos from Life of Pi, running at Wyndham’s Theatre in London’s West End have been released. Check out the photos here!

100,000 new tickets have been released for the final booking period of the West End production of Life of Pi. Nuwan Hugh Perera, who is currently the alternate Pi, will take over the title role on 7 September 2022 with Chirag Benedict Lobo joining the cast as the new alternate Pi.

The story of a real-life love affair between two Yorkshire miners is coming  off-Broadway at the Davenport theatre 4th-9th september  and being made into a film in co-production with human element film. Once a Year on Blackpool Sands is written by Karlton Parris and presented by Manchester-based theatre company Skint Productions. Set in Blackpool 1953, before homosexuality was legal in the UK, this real-life gritty Northern LGBTQ comedy focuses on Eddy and Tommy, as they head to Blackpool for their annual wakes week holiday. The lads check into the surprisingly empty Withering Heights on Sea guest house, run by the caustic and alarmingly odd Gladys, her rebellious and very flirty daughter Maureen and the infamous Red Ethel, ex-communist stripper show girl.  Upstairs the only other guest Mr Elbridge is trying to muster the courage to unleash any of his three female alter egos and walk the fabled transvestite walk from north to south pier as a woman. 

Karlon Parris talked about Once a Year on Blackpool Sands on the BBC, including the feature film version, the trip Off-Broadway and the UK tour. Click the video below to listen to the interview!
