Bonus episode: How a 70-seat West End studio theatre goes from strength to strength ","description":"<p>In this episode, we take an exclusive look at Jermyn Street Theatre’s newly announced 2026 autumn season, including the UK premiere of Simon Stephens’ <em>A Slow Fire</em> and a revival of Richard Eyre’s <em>Ghosts</em>. We discuss what <em>A Slow Fire</em> might bring to London audiences following its Dublin premiere, and why Kwame Owusu’s direction of <em>Ghosts</em> continues the theatre’s commitment to developing emerging voices alongside established writers. We also explore the remarkable growth of Jermyn Street Theatre over the past decade, now operating as an intimate central London venue into a theatre increasingly attracting major writers, ambitious productions and a wider profile within the industry.</p>","author_name":"Sarah Crompton & Alex Wood"}
