This RSC-produced indie musical is a stage adaptation of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s 2019 film about a Malawian boy who uses his technological ingenuity to save his drout-stricken village. Transferring down from Stratford-upon-Avon, the Lynette Linton-directed show is based on the memoir by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer, with a book and lyrics by Richy Hughes and music and lyrics by Tim Sutton. The show is suitable for ages 11-plus.

The first major West End revival of Edward Albee’s classic play in a decade has a cast to die for, as Billy Crudup and Gillian Anderson play the iconically awful George and Martha, an acidic middle aged couple who invite George’s young colleague Nick and his wife Honey over for a bizarre evening of weird and problematic game playing. And @sohoplace is a wonderfully intimate venue to watch the horrors unfold. The catch is that the show is heavily sold out, though at time of writing there were a decent number of more expensive tickets available across the run. The great Marianne Elliott will direct a cast that’s rounded out by Josh Dylan as Nick, and Phoebe Horn as Honey.
