A confectioner’s deluge of pink ticker-tape, drifts slowly from high above Drury Lane’s stage, as disco tracks and rumbustious tomfoolery play-out below. It is undoubtedly what Shakespeare himself would have wanted and after a couple of less-than-loved-Lloyds, wonder boy director Jamie is back in his groove, wowing the masses with his accessible versions of the classics. Here, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING succumbs with minimal resistance to his magical makeover.

TRASH! Super silly, super structured, super rehearsed, super funny. A riot of unabashed, fizzing, physical mayhem. Choreographed to within an inch of its life yet managing to exude a wholly ad-libbed vibe, TRASH! could be exactly the ingredient to bring a smile in an otherwise dreary February. What’s not to love?

Until the 15th March (although a West End transfer must surely be on the cards after this evening’s rapturous opening), London theatregoers get a chance to witness for themselves the hard hitting and mesmerising true crime drama KENREX, in which the townsfolk of a small backwater, rise up and take back control after suffering a decade of tyranny at the hands of one man.

What happens when the boffins of Artificial Intelligence, including a Russian emigré who now works for the NSA, decide to test their code writing abilities against the age old question around God and man? The answer as always, depends on how the question is asked and how receptive humankind is to an answer it may not be ready to hear.
