Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!
In part three of our “Top Plays of the Century” series, chief critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief Alex Wood have arrived in 2004 and 2005!
They discuss new work from Alan Bennett and David Hare while announcing the arrival of a new generation – Laura Wade, Simon Stephens, David Harrower among them.
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!

Across 2026, WhatsOnStage will be chronicling the best plays of the 21st century – focussing on plays that opened on this side of the Atlantic or exerted a force on British theatremaking. With a new episode every month, expect dissection, analysis and reflection – from critics who were actually at the opening nights in question!
The Oscar-winning movie’s stage adaptation begins performances next month!
