A cheeky Twitter follower requested that I ask the three stars of Patrick Marber's locker room drama The Red Lion - Stephen Tompkinson, John Bowler and Dean Bone - to explain the off-side rule during my post-show Q&A.

Can we love someone whose belief system we fundamentally disagree with? If we love someone, can we denounce what we believe just to please them? Family and faith compete in thoughtful three-hander The Busy World Is Hushed.

‘A landscape of mystery’: Fishskin Trousers Q&A photos and tweets

How much can a landscape shape a person's identity? How much can a landscape shape a play's plot? In answer to the latter question, in the case of Elizabeth Kuti's Fishskin Trousers, the answer is certainly quite a lot.

How do we talk to those that we hate? How do we speak across the anger that divides us? Those are the opening lines in Chris Hannan's provocative new play, What Shadows - and they were also amongst the questions raised at my post-show Q&A.

There was a moment I'll never forget from the Q&A I hosted after last night's performance of Stephen Clark's Le Grand Mort, starring Julian Clary at the West End's Trafalgar Studios.

Mrs Orwell Q&A podcast and photos: What might George Orwell have written after 1984?

By Terri Paddock|2020-03-27T15:54:48+00:0014 September 2017|Tags: 1984, Animal Farm, Cressida Bonas, Featured Show, George Orwell, Jimmy Walters, Mrs Orwell, Off-West End, Old Red Lion Theatre, Peter Hamilton Dyer, Proud Haddock, Southwark Playhouse, Terri Paddock events, Tony Cox|

Sales of George Orwell's 1984 surged by a staggering 9,500% after the election of Donald Trump to become Amazon's biggest seller. Orwell himself died, at the age of 46, in January 1950, just seven months after 1984 was published. What might he have written if he’d lived longer?

I had my own Godotesque moment to start last night's Waiting for Godot Q&A. The stage was bare. Where were the chairs? Was anyone bringing chairs? How long would we be waiting for chairs? Did such things as chairs exist?

By Terri Paddock|2020-03-27T16:07:26+00:001 September 2017|Tags: Angels in America, Christopher Marlowe, classics, Edward II, Elizabethan drama, Gay plays, gay theatre, Lazarus Theatre, Luke Ward-Wilkinson, Mark Woolgar, queer theatre, Ricky Dukes, Terri Paddock events, Tristan Bates Theatre, Zack Polanski|

The plays may have been written 420-odd years apart, but I was really struck by how many parallels there were between the discussion I hosted last week, to the European premiere of Jordan Tannahill's Late Company, and the one I hosted last night, to Christopher Marlowe's 16th-century classic Edward II.

Having heard so many of My Theatre Mates raving about Late Company following its European premiere earlier this year at the Finborough, I was really looking forward to seeing it at Trafalgar Studios. And yet, I still came under-prepared: I didn't bring enough tissues.

Two years ago, I chaired the opening night discussion at the third annual From Page to Stage festival of new musicals founded by Aria Entertainment's Katy Lipson. The central question on that occasion was "are we doing enough to nurture new musicals?" And the central answer was no.
