I’m really intrigued by the next offering from English National Opera at their home The Coliseum. It’s a new piece called JACK THE RIPPER: THE WOMEN OF WHITECHAPEL and it’s by Iain Bell and Emma Jenkins.

Maggie Smith Returns to the Stage

Now here’s a project that’s dripping with class.
I caught up with Sir Nicholas Hytner just before he opened his stunning new theatre THE BRIDGE. We were taking about what kind of productions would feature there and high on his shopping list was something, anything, starring national treasure Dame Maggie Smith - perhaps best known these days for playing the formidable duchess of Grantham in TV’s DOWNTON ABBBEY.

The little Jermyn Street Theatre, around the corner from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA often has some very classy productions indeed, performed in their very intimate space.

A Forthcoming West End Hip-Hop Show will Celebrate Sting

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.
