Four Arthur Miller plays to hit London stages in 2019
Paul T Davies looks the four Arthur Miller plays which are being staged around London in 2019 There is so much theatre I’m looking forward to this year, regionally, in London and on the Fringe. It’s always difficult to pick out the potential hits of the year, but two well established names will dominate much review coverage in London. One is Pinter, with the Pinter at the Pinter season now crossing the half way mark and continuing with Pinter 5.6 and 7, with the much anticipated Martin Freeman/Danny Dyer pairing in The Dumb Waiter, and Tom Hiddlestone afterwards in Betrayal. But it’s Arthur Miller that will enjoy an almost festival like staging of his greatest plays, and they all offer superb acting, directors and staging. THE AMERICAN CLOCK – OLD VIC THEATRE The Old Vic gets this informal season off with a staging of Miller’s epic play about the stock … Read more

FIRST LOOK: Sharon D Clarke in Caroline or Change at Playhouse Theatre
New production photography has been released for the West End production of Caroline Or Change starring Sharon D Clarke which is currently previewing at the Playhouse Theatre London. Louisiana, 1963. Revolution is in the air, though not so much for Caroline, the poorly paid maid toiling endlessly in the sweltering basement of the Gellman household. It’s a fantastical, magical place amidst the piles of laundry and singing washing machines, especially for eight-year-old Noah Gellman who sneaks downstairs to see her whenever he can.
