The National Theatre is touring a new production, Shut Up, I'm Dreaming, created by physical ensemble theatre company The PappyShow to state secondary schools across the country from 9th January – 31st March 2023.  

Radio Elusia is a world where the simple act of speaking or listening - even if you're an average person with no ill intent - can get you into serious trouble. I find this such a dramatically exciting premise, and that's what drew me to this project. What's great about the way our writer Nina Segal has put this world together is that the listener is automatically a part of this world just by listeninga?? and is therefore potentially in trouble.

Boundless Theatre presents the full cast for Nina Segal's bold debut fiction podcast: Radio Elusia. The new five-episode drama, directed by Boundless' Artistic Director Rob Drummer, will launch in April 2020. Robert Awosusi joins Drummer as Associate Director in directing Joseph Adelakun, Valerie Vansovica, Chantelle Amon, Megan Jarvie, Pip Williams, and Joe Matty. The podcast will feature music and sound design by FATHER.

BWW talks to Ruth Mary Johnson about her version of The Winter's Tale at the National Theatre and about her philosophy in making theatre works for young people.

Following a sold-out run at the Dorfman Theatre in 2018, The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare returns to the National Theatre from 6th - 21st February 2019. Adapted by Justin Audibert for primary-age children and directed by Ruth Mary Johnson, this new version is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for younger audiences.

Full casting has been announced for RICHARD II at the House of Commons and Arcola Theatre. Jack Gamble and Quentin Beroud's production relocates the action to 21st-century Westminster, where it opens on the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. This is the first ever performance of a Shakespeare play in the Palace of Westminster, with only 100 tickets available for the one-off performance on St George's Day (April 23).
