We Will Rock You - London Coliseum Over 20 years have elapsed since Ben Elton and Queen’s theatrical collaboration first hit the West End where despite universal derision from critics, it eventually clocked-up an impressive 12 years at its 2000+ seater home at The Dominion. Boasting 24 of the band’s most recognisable rock anthems, WE WILL ROCK YOU now begins a 12-week summer residency at ENO’s even larger capacity venue The London Coliseum.

Review: 2:22 - A GHOST STORY at Apollo Theatre

Danny Robins’ small-scale stage thriller has become something of an underground hit with audiences having opened at the Noël Coward, followed by further runs at the Gielgud, the Criterion and most recently the Lyric theatre. Now a new cast have been assembled to continue the ghostly goings-on at the production’s new home at the Apollo on Shaftesbury Avenue.

Review: OPERATION MINCEMEAT at Fortune Theatre

When a batch of hurriedly typed documents marked "Top Secret" were finally declassified in the 1950s, they revealed possibly the single most ludicrous premise for espionage ever devised, and although Operation Mincemeat very nearly didn’t happen, it ultimately changed the course of the Second World War.
