It's been a while since the last time you started a thread on trigger warnings, I was worried

Kwame Kwei-Armah will direct his final production as Young Vic Artistic Director with the world premiere of A Face in the Crowd, a cautionary tale about the dangers of celebrity, power, and politics based on the classic ‘50s Hollywood film, with music and lyrics by Elvis Costello and book by Sarah Ruhl, from 10 September – 9 November.

There's some dynamic pricing going on. I checked yesterday and they were selling the back of stalls for 50£, so if you're in London it might be an option

As per usual with Jamie Lloyd's productions, R&J is offering 10,000 tickets priced at £25 and under, with 5,000 specifically for under 30s, key workers, and government benefit recipients. Although it's unclear when they go on sale

I mean Crazy For You proved that he can't sell a show, so I doubt he'll be cast in another star vehicle any time soon. Bill is a brilliant supporting role that earned nominations to several actors who played him. As good as he is at what he does, he also has very little range, and Bill is right up his street in terms of dancing, acting and singing. Unless they need to recast Cornelius in Hello Dolly, it's the best role for him in the upcoming season. BOSH!!!! I've literally just be proven right

The wonderful soprano won the Olivier Award in 1992 for Carmen Jones at the Old Vic.

I would say Emily Dickinson is fairly popular in the UK, although clearly not as popular as in the States. Probably in the UK Virginia Woolf tends to occupy more than ED the niche of "brilliant female writer with mental health issues", even on stage (eg, Eileen Atkins' Vita & Virginia, O'Brien's Virginia etc)

They need to cast a grande dame as Berthe, not some 40 something

LOVE the idea of Charlie Stemp and Zoe Birkett ❤️ I guess the question is would Charlie take a supporting role? I mean Crazy For You proved that he can't sell a show, so I doubt he'll be cast in another star vehicle any time soon. Bill is a brilliant supporting role that earned nominations to several actors who played him. As good as he is at what he does, he also has very little range, and Bill is right up his street in terms of dancing, acting and singing.

America Ferrera's nomination for that sophomoric speech is ludicrous, and the lack of nomination for Charles Melton is nothing short of criminal

Has there been any Hecuba since Clare Higgins' twenty years ago? We could probably enjoy a revival of the Persians, Ajax or Iphigenia, but I doubt we'll see major revivals of Women of Trachis or Euripides' Helen.
I would love to see the San Wanamaker Playhouse stage one of Seneca's plays in the Elizabethan translations that influenced revenge tragedies.

I saw it a couple of days ago and on the whole I enjoyed it, but I'm surprised by how much they toned down the queer aspects, which in turn diminishes the impact of I'm Here. Very good cast, especially Brooks.

He surely is different from the golden-voiced and matinee-idol-looking Brian Stokes Mitchell, Brent Barrett and Will Chase.

Adrian Dunbar is odd casting. I hope he can do better than he did in Hamlet at the Young Vic. On the other hand, Stephanie J. Block is wonderful casting. Curious to see which version of the book they'll use and how much they are going to tinker with it.
