Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!
Back in the same room, Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood chat all things Lives of Others as the glitzy West End show begins performances at the Adelphi Theatre. But does Robert Icke’s adaptation with Keira Knightley, Luke Thompson and Stephen Dillane stick the landing? Elsewhere, the pair pay tribute to Patrick Stewart, Sarah heads to the RSC for Middlemarch and it seems that every theatre in the country has a new season to reveal…
Crompton and Wood host a weekly series on all things theatrical. News, views, frank exchanges and lists offer an unmissable guide to what’s happening on stage (and in film and on television) now, in the past and in future.
The podcast can be listened to on various streaming platforms – including Apple Podcasts and Audible. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode!
