Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!
In part two of the brand new series exploring the best plays of the 21st century, chief critic Sarah Crompton and editor-in-chief Alex Wood have landed in 2002 and 2003. There, they weigh up the merits of new work from Caryl Churchill, Roy Williams and Kwame Kwei-Armah. Plus new writing from Lucy Prebble and Lynn Nottage. Who will take the crown in each year?
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!
