BWW Review: WINSTON VS CHURCHILL, The Coronet Theatre
The Italian Theatre Festival begins its swansong bringing one of Italy's most distinguished performers to the Coronet stage.

"Summertime" has just about arrived in the UK and Grange Park Opera continue their 2019 season with George and Ira Gershwin's Porgy & Bess.
BWW Review: ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET'S CINDERELLA, Royal Albert Hall
Swapping the Coliseum for the vastness of the unique space at London's Royal Albert Hall, English National Ballet's Summer blockbuster is billed as their 'biggest production to date'.

After the female-led kick-off, the Italian Theatre Festival at The Coronet centres the attention on the United Kingdom's favourite writer, Shakespeare.
BWW Review: FORCE OF NATURE NATALIA, Curzon Mayfair
Force Of Nature gives us an unprecedented up close and personal insight of the work of Royal Ballet Principal, Natalia Osipova, but leaves us wanting to know more about the woman who animates the dancer.
BWW Review: THREE ITALIAN SHORT STORIES, The Coronet Theatre
The Italian Theatre Festival is back at The Coronet Theatre for their second edition.
BWW Review: CUTTINGS, The Hope Theatre
YouTuber Arthur Moses has unexpectedly gone on to win an Olivier Award and delivered the most offensive acceptance speech in the history of the ceremony.
BWW Review: THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE, Barbican Centre
In 1607 Francis Beaumont was about to premiere his new play The Knight of the Burning Pestle, the pastiche that was set to change British comedy forever.
BWW Review: BRONX GOTHIC, Young Vic
A theatrical experience of dance, movement and spoken word.
BWW Review: EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION, Trafalgar Studios
Education, Education, Education presses a lot of nostalgia buttons to generate laughs, but leaves its strongest storyline relatively unexplored.
BWW Review: AVENUE Q, Theatre Royal Brighton
'What do you do with a BA in English?' What is 'Schadenfreude'? How does one find their 'Purpose' in life? The hit musical comedy Avenue Q comes to Brighton Theatre Royal as part of a new UK tour.
BWW Review: MANON LESCAUT, Opera Holland Park
A somewhat disengaged staging is saved by wonderful music played wonderfully well and a distressing coup de theatre brothel scene.
BWW Review: ARMADILLO, The Yard Theatre
Sam (Michelle Fox) has been trying to deal with her traumatic past for most of her life.
BWW Review: WIFE, Kiln Theatre
Premiering at the Kiln Theatre, Samuel Adamson's 'Wife' is a retelling of Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll's House' that focuses on four generations of lovers.

BWW Review: MAIN MEN OF MUSICALS, Cadogan Hall
The audience couldn't get enough at Main Men of Musicals, a concert at Cadogan Hall last night featuring West End stars Luke Bayer, Ben Forster, Trevor Dion Nicholas, Liam Tamne, and some very talented young choral performers.
BWW Review: COUNTRY MUSIC, Omnibus Theatre
Country Music starts in 1983.
BWW Review: VENICE PRESERVED, Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Prasanna Puwanarajah's revival of Venice Preserved brings the look of the show right up to date - its narrative is very 21st century, so needed nothing.
BWW Review: THE AUDIENCE, Nuffield Southampton Theatres
As the United Kingdom waits to see who will be the next prime minister, a production focusing on the relationship between PM and the Queen could not be more perfectly timed.
BWW Review: THE BARTERED BRIDE, Garsington Opera
We haven't seen a lot of Smetana's The Bartered Bride in the UK recently.
BWW Review: SERGEI POLUNIN, London Palladium
It happens every now and then that a reputation becomes so prominent, it's hard to see the person inside of it.
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.
BWW Review: THE STARRY MESSENGER, Wyndham's Theatre
A decade after originating the lead role Off Broadway, Matthew Broderick returns to Kenneth Lonergan's play to make his West End debut.
