Episode notes

From London’s Theatreland, we’re joined by Broadway and West End stars Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga at the Gielgud Theatre. The duo are performing in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, devised by Cameron Mackintosh, and directed by Matthew Bourne.

Nick Curtis and Nick Clark review Hamnet, which is now on at the Garrick theatre. Then, Nancy Durrant and our chief theatre critic review Lynn Nottage’s Clyde’s at the Donmar Warehouse.

We join tributes to acclaimed West End producer and stage impresario Bill Kenwright, who has died.

Our hosts also discuss the news that Cruel Intentions and The Hunger Games are coming to the London stage.

And finally, we've got an email address! We'd love to hear from you what you think of the show - and the shows - so that we can get to know our fellow theatre-lovers better. Drop us a line at [email protected].
