A Strange Loop by Michael R. Jackson arrives at the Barbican this Summer after winning both a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize in New York. Meta and messy, it’s the story of a fat, queer Black man wrestling with identity and intrusive thoughts.

It’s taken 10 years (and lockdown) for writers Christopher J Orton and Jon Robyn to transition their random thoughts and ideas — formed during a lull in performing Spamalot one afternoon in 2013 — into a stageable version of THEN, NOW & NEXT.

At the heart of Dario Fo’s 1970 satire, is a desire to expose the oft ridiculous web of lies and deceit used to cover-up incidents stemming from abuses of power. An anarchist dies whilst being interrogated in police custody. But did he jump from the window or was he pushed?

Martin McDonagh’s absurdist and sinister black comedy THE PILLOWMAN has begun a London revival at the Duke of York’s which is set to continue through the summer. The play was first presented at the National Theatre back in 2003, with David Tennant and Jim Broadbent. Here, Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton assume the roles of Katurian the writer of macabre short stories, and Detective Tupolski the police interrogator.

The ubiquitous triumvirate of playwright James Graham, director Rupert Goold and set designer Es Devlin has cast a unified sense of magic over the beautiful game for its latest combined theatrical offering. DEAR ENGLAND plays at the National Theatre and when those moments of collective national nail-biting are replayed and relived on the Olivier stage, they’ll leave audiences with their hearts in their mouths all over again.
