Stars are declaring war on phones in theatres

Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

In a packed week of theatre news, Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood discuss Cynthia Erivo halting a show to stop filming – and Lesley Manville declaring war on photos. Is technology ruining or helping theatre? Plus: troubled waters at the Bridge, Broadway transfers and whether theatre could learn something from Parkrun.

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!
