Welcome to the WhatsOnStage Podcast!
As the new year arrives, editor-in-chief Alex Wood and chief critic Sarah Crompton look forward to some of the exhilarating theatrical treats in store, ranging from Aidan Turner’s return to the stage opposite Lesley Manville in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the National Theatre to Mischief’s first musical Thespians and the Royal Court’s 70th anniversary season.
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!
