Are the West End rumours about Grease true?
By London Box Office Thursday, November 11 2021, 21:07
There are rumours circulating. Are they true? Will the current touring production of Grease move to the Dominion, possibly in early 2022? The signs are looking good. The Prince of Egypt is closing in January, Grease will need a big venue, and it feels like the perfect fit. We hope so, since the show's blend of a fresh, energetic young new cast, a well-loved plot, and a legendary score is hard to resist.

Review: ‘NIGHT, MOTHER at Hampstead Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, November 10 2021, 08:52
Our scene takes place in a rural American homestead where, as a prelude to shooting herself, Jessie lists for her mother the humdrum minutiae of her existence — whilst preparing pill bottles, filling labelled sweet jars, detailing who to call when the dishwasher breaks down and most importantly, what procedure to follow after she hears the gun shot later that evening.
