The London Theatre Review is back with a brand new season, and back in front of a live audience! Kicking off season seven in style, Nancy and the Nicks are coming to you from the Saatchi Gallery as part of the Chelsea Arts Festival. We're joined for a very special episode by two very special guests. National Theatre artistic director Indhu Rubasingham reveals what’s in store during her star-studded new season and reflects on taking charge of one of the world’s most important theatres. And the brilliant Samuel Barnett, star of The History Boys and Dirk Gently, talks all about queer joy and history as he prepares to star in Pride the Musical ahead of its transfer to the Bridge Theatre. We've also got reviews of course. Of two of London's biggest openings in fact: Thelma & Louise at the Young Vic, based on the iconic film, and starring Rachel Tucker and Amy Lennox, and Tilda Swinton’s long-awaited return to the stage in Man to Man at the Royal Court.Drop us a line at thelondontheatrereview@gmail.com or on Instagram @thelondontheatrereview.
