EDITOR'S CHOICE OF TOP PICKS:

 

THE UNNATURAL TRAGEDY by Margaret Cavendish

White Bear Theatre 3 - 21 July 2018

 

"Margaret Cavendish’s The Unnatural Tragedy was written 350 years ago.  I knew that White Bear championed older writers, but … ! It is wonderful to see they are giving this radical play its debut and honouring the memory of an extra-ordinary woman.  Read more in theatre news. The White Bear is not alone in staging ‘lost classics’, the Finborough also have ‘rediscovered’ plays."  

 

BUT IT STILL GOES ON by Robert Graves

Finborough Theatre 10 July - 4 August 2018

 

“Robert Graves’ But It Still Goes On, was commisioned in 1929 but never performed until now.  The play features a stunning cast.  You can read our Wordplay interview with cast member Claire Redcliffe here"

 

LET’S GET LOST by Bebe Barry

Katzpace 29 – 31 July 2018 and

Bridge House Theatre 2 -4 August 2018

 

"At the other end of the scale we have the recently opened Katzpace where Bebe Barry’s Let’s Get Lost is being staged.  Bebe is just 22!  Quite the baby of the bunch.  I invited her to tell us a little about her play and her process which you can read here."
