  • Jonathan Bailey in Richard II, KT Tunstall, Backstroke
    From dashing prince to hopeless king, Jonathan Bailey leaves the world of Wicked behind - for a few months at least - as he takes on one of Shakespeare's trickier tyrants in Richard II at the Bridge Theatre. Nancy, Nick and Nick give their verdicts. Two national treasures hit the Donmar stage this month: Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig play a mother and daughter dealing with the consequences of a stroke in Anna Mackmin's new play Backstroke. And Nancy chats to KT Tunstall about her musical adaptation of iconic 90s film Clueless. Thanks to our sponsor Art of London, whose spectacular Art After Dark returns to London's West End from 6-8 March featuring public art installations, late night gallery openings and more - this time with an intergalactic twist.

  • Much Ado About Nothing, Unicorn, Omari Douglas from It's A Sin
    Not even Sigourney Weaver could save Jamie Lloyd's The Tempest from its gloom spiral - but Lloyd is back for the second part of his Shakespeare at Drury Lane season with a Marvel special, turning Loki and Agent Carter (well, Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell) into Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. There's confetti. There are balloons. There are 90s club bangers. So is Lloyd's reputation restored? Nick, Nick and Nancy find out. Room for one more? Mike Bartlett's new play Unicorn at the Garrick looks at the dynamics of a throuple, and there are worse throuples to be in than one involving Stephen Mangan, Nicola Walker and Erin Doherty. LTR's own devoted trio give their verdict on the play.And Omari Douglas, known for his roles in It's A Sin, Cabaret and Black Doves, talks about Black queer stories as he stars in new play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew by Coral Wylie at the Bush Theatre. Huge thanks to our sponsor Art of London, whose website artoflondon.co.uk is packed with ideas for things to do in London, with tips on events, exhibitions, shopping and much more.

  • Gina McKee, Harmony Rose-Bremner, The Years, Play On
    It's the show that's had people (mainly men, actually) fainting almost every night...Eline Arbo's adaptation of Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux's book The Years transfers from the Almeida to the West End with a phenomenal cast of Romola Garai, Gina McKee, Deborah Findlay, Anjli Mohindra and Harmony Rose-Bremner. Nick, Nick and Nancy not only review the show - with full and frank info on *that* now infamous abortion scene - but Nick Curtis also talks to Gina and Harmony about what it's like to be part of the ensemble. Nick and Nancy also visit the Lyric Hammersmith for Play On, an adaptation of Twelfth Night set to the music of Duke Ellington.
