Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!
Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood are inspired by Rosamund Pike’s starry performance in Suzie Miller’s Inter Alia to think of other great dramas about the law – how the legal system can, in some ways, be put on trial in front of a live audience.

Chief critic Crompton and editor-in-chief 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!
