So pleased that Katherine Moar has been nominated as Most Promising Playwright for #Ragdoll in @CCTheatreUK awards. Such a great play. Deserves a wider audience.

Jermyn St Theatre is fast becoming my favourite London venue. Orphans is an excellent production with three very strong performances. Well worth seeing if you can still get a ticket.

So sorry to hear this. An incredibly talented writer and a director and a lovely person. A huge loss.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our founder and Artistic Director, Joanna Carrick.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband David, her son Ted and the whole of the Red Rose Chain family.

#Pippin @GatehouseLondon has been an absolute triumph of a production. I’ve seen it twice and have been blown away by the talent and exuberance of this cast and the excellent choreography, which has made the most of this space. Great show, well done!

Ragdoll at @JSTheatre is an excellent new play, a fascinating script and strong performances, especially from Katie Matsell as The Heiress. Recommended.

Born With Teeth is a superb play brilliantly written and performed by two top-quality actors. A thrilling 90 minutes of densely-packed dialogue. Thoroughly recommended. #BornWithTeeth @TheRSC @WyndhamsTheatre

Such a great show and great company. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

Theatre in the Forest is over for another year and we want to thank YOU our wonderful audiences!! It's been another record breaking year for our box office and we've been overwhelmed with the incredible response to the show!
Thank you to everyone for joining us this summer!!

Sweeney Todd by Captivate Theatre at the Spiegeltent is a triumph. The singing is outstanding and the production makes the most of its space to deliver a thoroughly …yes, captivating show. The standout star is @HazelBeattie76 as Mrs Lovett, both hilarious and terrifying.

Hamlet continues throughout the summer at Sutton Hoo. Do not miss it! Genuinely one of the highlights of our year.

[chris loft @loftybooks]

Once again @red_rose_chain delivers an outstanding example of outdoor theatre. Their Sutton Hoo productions are the perfect way to introduce young people to Shakespeare, but just as enjoyable for the veteran theatregoer too.
