The 39 Steps
Don’t miss John Buchan’s gripping whodunnit live in London. There’s a wonderful ’80s comedy sketch where one extremely effete doctor turns to another and declares, ‘I learnt everything I know about women from the novels of John Buchan.’ Though Buchan was aggressively heterosexual, his emphasis on a world where a chap’s upper lip was as stiffly starched as his collar meant there was little room for ladies – pleasant creatures though they were – in his tales of intrigue.
This wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller features four fearless actors, playing 139 roles in 100 minutes of fast-paced fun. The 39 Steps is one of the most astonishing theatrical tour de forces to hit the West End in years. Until Oct 2015
Shakespeare in Love
This one is absolutely adorable! Adapted from the famous screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, Shakespeare in Love at the Noel Coward Theatre takes an unusual look at the life of England’s greatest ever playwright through a fictional love affair, spurring him on to pen his great love story Romeo and Juliet. Young Will Shakespeare has writer’s block… the deadline for his new play is fast approaching but he’s in desperate need of inspiration.
That is, until he finds his muse – Viola. This beautiful young woman is Will’s greatest admirer and will stop at nothing (including breaking the law) to appear in his next play
