Theatre Breaks Plays
There are some new plays coming to
London's West End Theatreland
A View from The Bridge
Ken Stott (Messiah, The Vice, Rebus, Shallow Grave) and Mary Elizabeth
Mastrantonio (The Color of Money, The Abyss, Robin Hood: Prince of
Thieves) star in a revival of one of the great classics of the
twentieth century. This rarely staged play by arguably American's
finest playwright, Arthur Miller, whose other landmark works include
The Crucible.
Waiting for Godot - Is he here yet?
When Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot exploded on to the London
stage 50 years ago, it shocked as many people as it delighted. There
had never been a play like it. Two tramps clowning around, joking and
arguing, repeating themselves, as they wait through one day and then
another, waiting for the mysterious Godot.
The Gruffalo
This big scary monster is back in London's West End again this
Christmas for the third year running in its new home at the beautiful
Duchess Theatre. Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep
dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the award winning
picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
Three
Days of Rain
Three Days of Rain explores how the private worlds of one generation
are reinterpreted by the next. A tender and surprising story of love
lies at the heart of a creative conflict which could never have been
imagined by these children. The actors play both generations in this
warm, funny and touching play about the family.
Complicit
Artistic Director Kevin Spacey returns to the theatre's stage to
direct the world premiere of Joe Sutton's new play, Complicit, a
thrilling look at our current political climate. As liberties are
stripped away can you ever know what is being perpetrated in your
name? Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ben Kritzer (Richard Dreyfuss)
finds himself in front.
Cherry Orchard
Academy Award-winner (American Beauty) Sam Mendes, returns to the
London stage to direct a formidable group of actors in an
ocean-spanning double-bill of revered classics. The transatlantic
company take the stage in Olivier Award-winner Tom Stoppard's new
version of The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov's daring, droll meditation on
bourgeois materialism and what remains in its wake.
