  • GAME OF LIFE – We preview The Great Game, the Tricycle Theatre’s festival exploring Afghan culture and history, which includes 15 specially commissioned plays.

  • GOOD TIMES COMING – Everything you need to know about shows opening this spring and summer – from Jerry Springer in Chicago to Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
  • THE NAKED TRUTH – Roger Foss meets Tim Firth, who has adapted his screenplay of Calendar Girls for the stage, and discovers there’s more to ladies posing naked for charity than meets the eye

    We’ve also got regular magazine sections, including Headliners (a round-up of top news), Up for Grabs competitions, Limelight pictures, this month’s What’s On Guide diary and listings, Brief Encounter (with A Little Night Music’s Hannah Waddingham), Recommended (theatregoer raves about recent openings) and, last but not least, Critical Comment, in which our columnist, Guardian critic Michael Billington, celebrates the comeback of the play.
