This blazing new play tells the astonishing story of John Maynard Keynes – Rebel economist and member of the Bloomsbury Group; Husband to ballerina Lydia Lopokova; Lover to Duncan Grant and others; Friend to Virginia Woolf. He moves between the corridors of power in Whitehall and the intoxicating freedom of a radical circle of artists, writers and lovers – all determined to live differently.
But as markets crash, old systems crumble and Britain teeters on the edge of chaos, one question begins to consume him: What is a good life? Can art, love and human connection reshape the future before it’s too late? Or is the world too addicted to wealth and power to change?
The play is directed by multi award-winner Nicholas Hytner and stars Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear and Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in her West End debut .
Graham / Kinnear / Osipova / Hytner >
Three couples, two homes, one laugh-out-loud domestic comedy.
When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips are each accused of having an affair by their spouses, they use the innocent and unsuspecting Featherstones as an alibi, dragging them into a web of chaos and confusion.
As the lives of the three couples intertwine, the lies deepen and mayhem ensues in one of theatre’s most entertaining comedies.
This production, starring Roger Allam and Dorothy Atkinson returns Ayckbourn’s classic to the in-the-round staging it was originally written for.

The 1960 play that cemented Alan Ayckbourn as one of Britain’s greatest modern playwrights, How the Other Half Loves, is an hilarious take on sex and class, setting off a chain of conflicts, misunderstandings and revelations. Other casting to be announced.
The magic of Christmas spills into January
We’re in London, during the Blitz. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.
Can their love survive?
Cinderella is both a tribute and a testament to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever. Bourne’s vivid storytelling in dance has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar but timeless fable.

The first revival of Peter Shaffer’s iconic play in over a decade.
“This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling.”
Vienna, 1820. A respected composer makes a shocking confession. Antonio Salieri (played by Michael Sheen) has everything – status, success, and the certainty that he has earned them. Until he meets musical prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (played by Callum Scott Howells).
Vulgar and childish, but utterly brilliant, Mozart possesses a gift so extraordinary that Salieri believes it can only be divine. And that God has chosen the wrong man.
Salieri begins a dangerous obsession that threatens to consume them both – channelling his jealousy into a calculated campaign to destroy the man he both worships and despises.
Fuelled by some of the greatest music ever written, Amadeus is an electrifying story of ambition, faith, and the unbearable cost of greatness – where talent battles genius, devotion turns to betrayal, and man dares to challenge God.
