From the Noël Coward Theatre, we join Tuppence Middleton to chat about her role as Elizabeth Taylor in The Motive and the Cue, directed by Oscar-winner Sam Mendes. Middleton, who stars opposite Johnny Flynn and Mark Gatiss, tells us about being in a play about putting on a play (Hamlet on Broadway in the Sixties), her experiences with obsessive compulsive disorder, and her new memoir.
Nancy and the Nicks review Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which is now on at the Phoenix Theatre, and Macbeth at the Donmar Warehouse, starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo.
But do we need headphones for the audience to experience 3D ‘binaural sound’ throughout the Shakespearean classic?
Plus, our hosts discuss the musicals they’re looking forward to see in London throughout this year: 2024 is looking to be a corker.
