In part four of our “Top Plays of the Century” series, chief critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief Alex Wood have arrived in 2006 and 2007!
They discuss the mighty War Horse, sublime new work from Complicité, incredible Scottish writing and blistering debuts. They also finally mull over the question – what actually is a play?
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!
