I think this might be Rebecca Frecknall. Or Jamie Lloyd. Or somebody else. Definitely one of those. Hot off the press. You heard it here first.

does anyone have any clue about seats for this? i saw school of rock a couple of times in side seats and they were great value but i’m looking at refurb pictures and pictures of the set and it looks like you could miss quite a lot from the side seats so i’m really debating what to book 😩 I have the same concerns but ALL the seats in the front moveable block are being sold later in the run (post previews) at around £99/£109 so I'm assuming they should be good ones on the side, considering the uniform price?

Interesting that they didn’t continue with SRB in John Gabriel Borkman as planned - and they chose this instead.

Knew J’Ouvert was being filmed for broadcast on BBC but apparently all three productions are set to be filmed for broadcast with filming details to be announced in due course for Walden and Anna X.

Imelda confirmed in a CFT chat just now that the earliest she can do HD is 2023 but they are going to push hard to get it done that year. She also highlighted that Dolly is Irish and so can talk and so that might be her unique take on the role.

They are doing She Stoops to Conquer on Wednesday. Easier to follow and more well known. Excellent. Do you have more details about this?

Watched Carrie on Children in Need and Andrew miming/faking the keyboard. A The song is naff. B The other song “Far Too Late” is much better C Carrie I’m sorry looked like a local librarian from hull singing in glasses - I could say more but I shall refrain. Looks, clothes, styling DO matter greatly folks. D Odd song, awkward interviews and Carrie doesn't have that MT star lead quality others have in my opinion. It just looks and sounds naff. Thumbs down from me sorry and I adore ALW shows Oh it's a DATA PROTECTION NIGHTMARE!!!!

I have never written a song in my life. I could DEFINITELY write - and possibly perform - a better song than that. FACT. Dreadful

What a shame. About 20 minutes of good material in 90 mins of a show. Little drama. Little interest. Not much that hadn’t been said several times and places before. Death of England had a lot more nuance than this. Well performed in the main. I think there are more laughs to be gained from it and Michael needs to slow down and not gabble as much. But it’s an impressive achievement to hold the stage for that long, given the circumstances. Rufus came on at the top and gave a rousing speech. Seemed to well received but my feeling (based on responses throughout) is that the warm response was more for the performance rather than the material.

New season Death of England - Delroy: Set in London, England Dick Whittington: Set in London, England Postponed season or NT in West End An Ocean at the End of the Lane: Set in England Small Island: set in Jamaica and the UK All of Us: set in UK Hamlet: set in Denmark Jack Absolute Rides Again: set in England Paradise: set on a desolate island (probably not near AMERICA) The Corn is Green: set in Wales Welcome to Iran: set in London and Iran Romeo and Julie: set in UK Even when I look back over the past few seasons too it’s the same story! OMG WHEN WILL THIS AMERICAN OBSESSION END? WHEN WHEN WHEN? AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Not sure why you think that list is relevant to my point. They did entire year of USA productions in the Lyttleton - did you "look back" over that ? List the following: Under Norris: Plays produced at the NT written by any (non-UK) EU country writer since, say, 1950. Now list transfers from or co-productions with any EU theatre. Now list any EU actors or directors who have worked at the NT. Now do the same for USA instead of EU. Which list is longer ? When did the NT last produce a French or German play written by a living writer ? Why did Norris state that one of his goals was to use more USA actors ? It is somewhat ironic that one organisation which will suffer no impact at all from Brexit is the NT, as far as they go we are already a colony of USA, they have no links or even curiosity about contemporary theatre in EU countries at all. Sorry. Your argument doesn’t hold up at all imho. But you’re entitled to it.

The NT’s obsession with all things American is getting really tedious.

Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart will be staged in the socially distanced Olivier Theatre next year. Not seen professionally in London since its 1986 European premiere, the piece follows Ned Weeks, founder of an AIDS advocacy group. It was adapted for HBO in 2014. The show is set to be directed by Dominic Cooke (Follies) with design by Vicki Mortimer and lighting by Paule Constable. It will star Ben Daniels as Weeks, with Danny Lee Wynter as Tommy Boatwright, Daniel Monks as Mickey Marcus and Stanley Townsend as Ben Weeks. Tickets will go on sale at the end of November, with the show to be staged in February 2021. Cooke said: "As a student I was lucky enough to see the landmark Royal Court production of The Normal Heart starring Martin Sheen. It had a profound effect on me at the time and I've wanted to direct the play ever since. It is the rarest of things; a history play written by one of its key participants. It deals with the nature of political activism, the internal battle many LGBT people fight to feel worthy of love and, topically, the refusal of those in power to face the reality of an unfolding health crisis. "Larry Kramer was a firebrand and The Normal Heart is written with all of his characteristic ferocity, political insight and wit. I've been talking with Ben Daniels for over five years about playing Ned Weeks. He is one of our greatest actors and I cannot wait to begin working with him, alongside the rest of the company and the brilliant team at the NT who Kate Horton and I, as Fictionhouse, will be co-producing with." www.whatsonstage.com/london-theatre/news/larry-kramer-normal-heart-national_52644.html
