Alistair McDowall’s PONOMA was one of the most talked about productions of 2014. McDowall’s new piece “X” premiers at The Royal Court and the Yorkshire playwright once more creates a vivid world of dystopia and fear, this time by setting the action in a futuristic space base orbiting around Pluto. Yet despite McDowall’s imaginative writing, which raises questions about the fate of human kind, Vicky Featherstone’s production of “X” is one that audiences will either love or hate.

Review: HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES at the Haymarket Theatre
By Phil Sealey Saturday, April 9 2016, 15:48
Alan Ayckbourn's HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES is a very good play. A comedy of manners, we are presented with an upper middle class couple, The Fosters, a lower middle class couple, The Phillips and the Featherstones, a timid couple that sit somewhere in between. Much of the action concerns the interplay of these couples and their social differences in how they deal with their wives and the wives of others when rumours of marital dalliances abound.

Sherlock Star to play Hamlet next February
By Phil Willmott Monday, April 4 2016, 15:48
Andrew Scott (Moriarty in TV’s SHERLOCK) is one of my favourite actors, quirky, charismatic and emotionally precise, so I’m very excited to hear he’s to play the title role in HAMLET by William Shakespeare at the Almeida Theatre next February in a production directed by the innovative Robert Icke.
Juliet Stevenson returns to the Almeida to play Hamlet's mother Gertrude with further casting and exact performance dates to be announced in the autumn.
