  • SOUTH OF THE BORDER – Your guide to south London theatregoing.

  • IT’S NOT JUST THE WINNING – Eurovision addict Mark Cook talks to Mel Giedroyc and reveals how he just can’t get enough of Eurobeat.

    We’ve also got all of your favourite regular magazine sections, including Headliners (news, previews and Talking Heads snippet interviews), Up for Grabs competitions, Limelight pictures, this month’s What’s On Guide diary and listings, Brief Encounter (with director/choreographer and Strictly Come Dancing baddie Craig Revel Horwood, whose new show Flamenco Flamen’ka hits the West End this month)), Recommended (theatregoer raves about recent openings, including David Tennant’s Hamlet) and, last but not least, Critical Comment, in which our columnist, Guardian critic Michael Billington, muses on whether it’s TV or not TV for theatre in the wake of Tennant fever.
