This December, Royal Exchange Theatre presents Brief Encounter, a huge beating heart of a musical for incurable romantics.

As their first production at Seven Dials Playhouse, London Youth Theatre will present katzenmusik, a darkly comic story about social inequality and upheaval on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th April.

Seven Dials Playhouse will provide a new home for London Youth Theatre (formerly Musical Youth London). Run by Katie Pesskin and Tom Foskett-Barnes, their aim has been to provide affordable performing arts opportunities to young people across the capital and the relaunch as London Youth Theatre is an exciting evolution of the company’s work so far.

See rehearsal photos for the musical Standing at the Sky’s Edge, which returns to Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre following its sell-out debut in 2019. The new musical with songs by Sheffield musician Richard Hawley and book by Chris Bush will transfer to the National Theatre’s Olivier in 2023.

Joan of Arc has long been a symbol of female empowerment. Her ascent to patron saint of France is often described as a tale of gender non-conforming rebellion for women to aspire to. Shakespeare's Globe and writer Charlie Josephine (they/he) have dismantled this depiction of womanhood, redefining Joan's experiences through the lens of trans existence. In I, Joan, the protagonist traverses the same war and faith we as an audience are accustomed to, whilst also advocating for and navigating their nonbinary identity.

Shakespeare's Globe has announced casting for the premiere of I, Joan, which runs from 25 August to 22 October.

Gloria Obianyo has won the first prize of the 2022 Ian Charleson Awards for her role as Neoptolemus in Paradise by Kae Tempest at the National Theatre. A performance that the judges said 'never put a foot wrong'.

The Royal Shakespeare Company has announced that upcoming performances of The Comedy of Errors have been cancelled due to Covid-19 cases in the company. Performances are cancelled from Wednesday, December 15 through Wednesday December 22. They hope to reopen on Thursday, December 23. 

The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) today announced that Naomi Sheldon will join The Comedy of Errors company to play the role of Adrianna on tour and at the Barbican this winter. Hedydd Dylan, who currently plays the role of Adrianna, will share the role with Naomi whilst the production is on tour, before leaving the company at the end of November to have her baby, when Naomi will take over permanently for the show's run at the Barbican.

Two terrible twins, Sean and Holly, with a talent for turmoil rule their school with terror and tyranny. That is, until the arrival of a new headteacher with scaly skin, gnarly fangs and a spiky tail… Can the twins save the school from the child-eating troll? Can naughtiness prevail?

Broadcasted mere hours after the change in Christmas COVID restrictions in the UK, the RSC’s Festive Tales brings some much-needed escapism. We are met with an empty theatre dotted with candles in lanterns and a lone voice singing a carol. It really magnifies the emptiness of our performance spaces at the moment.
