Welcome to the latest episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Head critic Sarah Crompton and managing editor Alex Wood report from behind the scenes at the National Theatre’s Green Store, the location of Rufus Norris’s press conference at which the retiring artistic director announced his final season of work. What was the mood – and what do we think of his choices to end a decade in the hot seat?

Wood and Crompton 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 here. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode! We’ll also be uploading them to YouTube every weekend.
