Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

September has rolled around, bringing with it overcast skies, school terms and, as you might expect, a whole lot of exciting theatre! Sarah Crompton and Alex Wood team up for part one of our bumper autumn preview, spotlighting some of the brand new work ready to wow on stages across the UK. From Bristol to Pitlochry, there’s everything from Ceilidh musicals to plays about John Maynard Keynes to look forwards to… featuring some of the most exciting writers of the time including Ava Pickett, Ryan Calais Cameron and James Graham.

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!
