  • Matilda first look Starting previews this week, the RSC’s brand new musical Matilda looks set to be an autumn treat for children and adults alike. This first look clip takes you behind the scenes during rehearsals for the much loved Roald Dahl tale and includes some of Tim Minchin’s wonderful original score.

  • Fela! hits London - Currently exploding onto the Olivier stage at the Natinoal Theatre, billed as a provocative and wholly unique hybrid of dance, theatre and music, Fela! explores the extravagant, decadent and rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Having won three 2010 Tony Awards including Best Choreography for Bill T Jones, this production is just the thing for those cold winter nights.

  • Black Watch is back - This autumn, the National Theatre of Scotland’s multi-award winning Black Watch returns. Receiving standing ovations and enjoying sold-out performances everywhere it has appeared, nationally and internationally Black Watch is based on interviews conducted by Gregory Burke with former soldiers who served in Iraq. John Tiffany’s production makes powerful and inventive use of movement, music and song to create a visceral, complex and urgent piece of theatre.

  • A Christmas Carol - Bah! Humbug! It’s only November and it’s our first festive video clip. It’s Christmas Eve and the meanest and most cold-hearted man in London, Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for merriment or mistletoe. Can the spirits convince Scrooge to change his ways in time for Christmas Day? Seen at Birmingham Rep last year, the production heads to the West Yorkshire Playhouse this year to provide another season of Christmas theatregoers with a jolly winter warmer.
