London is to get a new jukebox show, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, featuring the music of vintage rock star Sting.

Unusually dance is to be the central feature of the piece. But if you’re a fan - don’t worry it’s still going to feature all his hits including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Walking On The Moon, Englishman in New York, Shape of My Heart and Fields of Gold.

Kitchen Table Debate Play set to Make Sparks in the West End

By Phil Willmott Monday, February 4 2019, 09:23

It’s always interesting when theatre raises provocative questions so I’m delighted to learn that the play ADMISSIONS, which I saw at the Lincoln Centre in New York, will transfer to the Trafalgar studios in London from 28 February – 25 May.

It’s a slight piece, just 1 act of people talking in a kitchen, but it packs a powerful punch and as a result it won the author, Joshua Harmon, the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Play.
