If you love Derren Brown, and magic and mind-reading generally, The Psychic Project, David Narayan's show based on the true story of the Cold War's psychic spies, is a must-see.
Angels of the North (cancelled)
The world premiere of Angels of the North, the new comedy by John Godber (Bouncers, Up 'n' Under), is set around the 2019 general election as the Labour Party's 'red wall' collapsed. I'll chair a Q&A with Godber and guests as part of a fundraising evening for the National Youth Arts Trust charity.
In Search of a White Identity (postponed)
As part of the industry-invite, opening night performance of In Search of a White Identity, the first new play developed and produced in association with The Actors Centre, I'll chair a discussion about both the play and the theatre's future plans.
Sinners post-show video and photos: Why did Brian Cox want to direct a play about stoning women?
I saw Brian Cox and his wife Nicole Ansari acting alongside one another in the premiere of Tom Stoppard's 2006 play Rock 'n' Roll. It was wonderful to talk to them about working together onstage again in a very different capacity of a very different play.
One Jewish Boy
Written as an urgent response to rising anti-semitism, One Jewish Boy transfers to the West End's Trafalgar Studios after a controversial, sell-out run at the Old Red Lion Theatre. I'll talk to writer Stephen Laughton and guest Rabbi Miriam Berger about the issues raised.
Snowflakes (cancelled)
After the Old Red Lion Triptych in March, I'll return to the Islington venue for the world premiere of this darkest of modern comedies, the inaugural production from Dissident Theatre Company.
Love, Loss & Chianti
I'm excited to raise a toast to Robert Bathurst and the team behind poetry-inspired Love, Loss & Chianti - and to pay my first visit to the new, purpose-built home for iconic London arts centre Riverside Studios.
Sinners
In Sinners, a woman is waiting to be stoned to death for adultery. How common is stoning? Where is it legal? What are the political implications for speaking out - or not - against this barbaric practice?
Once The Musical post-show video and photos: Do you believe in destiny?
I first fell in love with Once after seeing the original 2007 independent Irish film. Then again when I the Tony Award-winning musical adaptation had its West End premiere in 2013. And now again on the musical's first major UK tour.
Chaplin post-show video and photos: What led to the birth of the Little Tramp?
