Timothy Sheader
Jesus Christ Superstar

JC Superstar for Edinburgh
Playhouse dates for Olivier Award-winning revival

Running Wild Tour
Morpurgo tale set for King’s:
A play based on Running Wild, Michael Morpurgo’s version of the true story of how a child escaped the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami on the back of an elephant, is coming to the King’s Theatre in May.
Lord of the Flies
★★★★☆ Ferocious energy:
Regents Park Open Air Theatre positively tears through the stage at the Festival Theatre this week as its Lord of the Flies leaves a trail of destruction in its wake.
To Kill a Mockingbird
★★★★★ Exquisitely engrossing:
Harper Lee’s tale of morality is one loved and read by generations. Translating To Kill a Mockingbird to the stage could have been problematic, but Timothy Sheader and Regent’s Park Theatre’s production is exquisitely charming and engrossing in equal measure.
