If you're on the hunt for some unorthodox entertainment this Christmas, you could do much worse than a trip to see La Soir e. This 'dysfunctional family' of cabaret and variety acts have trundled into London again, this time pitching their show in the West End's Aldwych Theatre.

Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea surfaces onto the Donmar stage, directed by soon-to-be Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah and with a magnetic central performance from Nikki Amuka-Bird.

Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein has officially burst into the West End. Based firmly on the movie, also by Brooks, it's brilliantly kitsch, wholly unsubtle and very, very funny.

Following their production of The Truth, also by Florian Zeller, the Menier Chocolate Factory, director Lindsay Posner and translator Christopher Hampton have teamed up again for the English language world premiere of The Lie.

A major cast change in a long-running musical means it's time for a return visit! The latest Wicked cast took over on 24 July, and BroadwayWorld chatted to several of them after a recent performance

Specialised in immersive and participatory community theatre, the award-winning charity SPID Theatre has developed iAm 4.0, a thought-provoking hour in which the audience take a certain amount of control.

With searingly topical timing, this summer sees the Lyric Hammersmith presenting the UK premiere of Terror, a tense courtroom drama by German lawyer and writer Ferdinand von Schirach which has become something of a worldwide hit. The premise is simple enough: a trial is undertaken on stage and the whole audience is the jury, voting after all the evidence has been presented.
