A Single Man post-show video and photos: Can you die of a broken heart?
Cinemagoers know A Single Man from the 2009 film starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Troupe Theatre's new adaptation strips the story back to its essence and the beautiful language of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel.
A Single Man
I'm thrilled to reunite with Troupe - after events for acclaimed productions including The Sweet Science of Bruising, Rasheeda Speaking, Dear Brutus and The Cardinal - to chair a post-show Q&A for Simon Reade's new adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel A Single Man at London's Park Theatre.
The End of the Night post-show video and photos: How should theatre tackle difficult historical subjects?
Set in the final days of World War II, new play The End of the Night centres around the true but little-known secret meeting between Norbert Masur, a Swedish Jew and volunteer member of the World Jewish Congress, and Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler, the mass-murdering architect of Hitler's final solution.
The End of the Night
What role does theatre play in exploring historical and political themes? I'll explore with an expert panel following a performance at the Park Theatre of The End of the Night, the new World War II-set drama based on a true story.
When Darkness Falls
When Darkness Falls is the brand-new, spine-chilling ghost story that delivers a twisted, terrifying and thrilling tale that will haunt you forever. If you jumped at The Woman in Black, this is one for you!
RAGS post-show video and photos: How do you repair a damaged musical?

Never Not Once (cancelled)
After my 2019 event to Katharine Farmer's revival of 1980s Wall Street satire Other People's Money, I'm delighted to reunite with the director on another serving of American theatre, this time the UK premiere of an award-winning new play, Carey Crim's Never Not Once.
The Time Of Our Lies Q&A video and photos: Did historian Howard Zinn predict our era of Trump & #fakenews?
A quick show of hands at last night's Q&A at the Park Theatre bore out my suspicion: most people, even left-leaning people, have not heard of Howard Zinn. Like those in the audience, before this show, I counted myself amongst them.
