Critic’s Choice: London’s 10 Best New Plays 31 July 2015
What play should you see first in London? We have compiled this list to save you the trouble of working it out! It’s just our view – and everyone has one – based on our Reviewers’ thoughts. We will update the list regularly so new productions get on your radar and when original casts change that is factored in. Plays which have been running for more than three years are not included – this is a list for new or relatively new productions running in London. So go see them! 1. The Elephant Man At first glance it is a simple historical tale with a couple of central star turns; unremarkable fodder but capable of reaching glitzy heights. Ellis sees beyond that though, and although the casting is undeniably starry, this is a thoughtful, incisive and ultimately shattering meditation on tolerance, convention, acceptance and love.

Weekly Rep Returns To Theatre Royal Windsor
The Theatre Royal Windsor and Paul Taylor-Mills have announced the return of weekly repertory theatre to the theatre with one company presenting a season of six classic revivals from Tuesday 26th May to Saturday 4th July 2015. The Theatre Royal Windsor has a strong history of repertory theatre dating back to 1938. When the theatre was converted into a cinema in 1929 to cater for the arrival of the talking pictures, John Counsell, who went on to be the theatres director for almost 50 years, lead a campaign to restore the theatre as a playhouse.

The Company remained at the theatre unsubsidised for almost five decades, and in 1988 celebrated its fiftieth birthday; an occasion attended by Her Majesty the Queen. Robert Miles, Executive Director of Theatre Royal Windsor said today: … Read more
