15 Heroines: 15 Monologues Adapted from Ovid

Groundbreaking. The smallest producing theatre in the West End through lockdown has become the largest.

---

A Streetcar Named Desire

A landmark production

---

Antony and Cleopatra

Supremely worth it to see a pair so famous weighing equal in their own balance, perhaps for the first time.

---

Coriolanus

A Coriolanus memorable for politics sinewed with personal forces: an active interrogation of democracy. And in Josie Rourke’s production Tom Hiddleston’s someone riven by intimations of his true self

---

Frankenstein

The acting scales cliff-edges of unreason. One remembers the scale of betrayal and loss of redemption

---

Frankenstein (alternate version)

The acting scales cliff-edges of unreason. One remembers the scale of betrayal and loss of redemption. Benedict Cumberbatch here is Frankenstein, Jonny Lee Miller the Creature. The alternate version aired first is still available.

From Henry VI Part 3 to Romeo and Juliet

Join and revel – they’re not anywhere near ended.

---

Hamlet

In Michelle Terry’s quicksilver, quick-quipping Hamlet, much has been proved, from interpretive to gender fluidity in tragic action, that sets a privilege on being in at a beginning.

---

King John

A tedious brief tragedy? King John is fun… It’s been said.

---

Richard II

Do see this.

---

Romeo and Juliet

Completeness is just one reason to cherish this clean-driven clear-headed production

---

The Bacchae

A wonderful classical treat from the students of the RCS.

---

The Spanish Tragedy

The OFS are taking flight with the best scratch nights the Elizabethans never had.

---

The Two Noble Kinsmen

We’re looking at a bright Book of Hours. Barrie Rutter’s done it profound service, adding a warmth and agency that opens up this pageant. This is hopefully just the first of many such he’ll bring to the Globe.
