I recently heard from the actress Emma Manton about the chance for you to enjoy a no doubt superb afternoon at the National Theatre and raise money for a good cause.
She writes “the refugee crisis of last summer and autumn exposed a humanitarian disaster in Syria and huge suffering elsewhere in the middle east. And it's far from over. I've organised a star-studded benefit performance on the afternoon of Valentine's Day (Sunday 14 February) at the Lyttleton Theatre. All of the proceeds will go to the United Nations relief agency (the UNHCR). It's a great and important cause: do please buy a ticket or tickets if you can”.
It’s been announced that Florian Zeller’s smart and clever little play THE FATHER about an elderly dad loosing his mind is to return to the West End for five weeks prior to a tour.
Is anyone looking forward to THE END OF LONGING, the new play by and starring Matthew Perry who found fame, many years ago as the handsome Chandler in TV’s FRIENDS?
Guys and Dolls has triumphantly transferred from Chichester to the Savoy Theatre.
I’m a huge fan of theatre productions that add a modern twist to well-known stories, making them more relevant to modern audiences. WONDER.LAND, the National Theatre’s collaboration with Daman Albarn (from the 90’s pop group Blur) could be one of these productions, however Lewis Carroll’s original Victorian tale of a girl discovering marvels beneath a rabbit hole barely survives in this digital oriented spectacle.
