Fat Pig

A New Comedy

Written and directed by Neil LaBute

When Tom (Robert Webb, from hit comedy duo Mitchell and Webb) first meets Helen there is an instant connection, but it's not exactly love at first sight…

Helen (Ella Smith, Sold) is a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus-sized - and then some - so it's only so long before the jokes start to fly from Tom's office buddies (My Family's Kris Marshall and Gavin and Stacey's Joanna Page).
The country's hottest actor-comedians star in this funny, searing and ultimately touching love story.

With this exclusive packaged hotel deal you receive ticket(s) to "Deep Blue Sea" at the Vaudeville Theatre and choose your duration at our selection of London hotels.

When you’re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea can sometimes look very inviting, according to the heroine of Terence Rattigan’s 1952 study of obsession and the destructive power of love.

In this powerful drama of passion versus loyalty, Hester Collyer, the daughter of a clergyman and wife of a judge is foundering in the closing stages of a hopeless affair.

Freddie Page, her lover, a handsome but shallow ex-Battle of Britain pilot, is out of his depth in their relationship, overwhelmed by the strength of an emotion he is incapable of reciprocating.

Following rave reviews across the UK, acclaimed actor Warren Mitchell returns to the London stage for the first time since winning Best Actor at the Olivier Awards for The Price in 2004. Best known as the opinionated Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part, he has worked extensively in the theatre where his many credits include The Caretaker and Death of a Salesman at the National Theatre. The production also stars actor Gideon Turner whose theatre credits include Laertes in Hamlet and Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet for the RSC.

Widower Mr. Green is almost hit by a speeding car driven by corporate executive Ross Gardiner. Found guilty of reckless driving Ross is ordered to spend the next six months making weekly visits to Mr. Green. Family secrets are revealed and old wounds reopened in this poignant must-see comedy.

Jeff Baron's multi-award winning play has had over 300 productions in 37 countries and has been translated in to 22 languages. This brand new UK production is directed by former Chichester Festival Theatre Director Patrick Garland.

The Broadway legend took London’s Old Vic theatre by storm in 2003 – the show had already triumphed in New York, where it won a Tony Award. It triumphed again at the 2004 Emmy Awards, winning not one but two top honours.

The riveting one-woman show is sensational, poignant and incredibly funny. Stritch talks and sings her way through 50 years in American theatre and tells her story. “You’ve got to be real to be funny,” she says early on in the show and she is. Her comic timing is impeccable and her anecdotes are priceless – from a disastrous date with Marlon Brando while they were at drama school together, to failing to get the star role in The Golden Girls because she insulted the writer.

Stritch is also uncompromisingly honest. She admits to having missed most of her life because of her struggle with drink. When she sums herself up as “an existential problem in tights” it is impossible not have huge admiration for a woman who, at the age of 82, can appear on stage in white shirt and tights and knock an audience dead. Elaine Stritch at Liberty was broadcast in the UK on BBC4.

The legendary former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, a Milwaukee schoolteacher who became Israeli's fourth PM in 1969. From the pogroms of Russia to the halls of the Knesset, Meir's life encapsulates the story of the birth of Israel in the wake of the Holocaust.
 
Tovah Feldshuh will re-create her Tony-nominated performance in the London bow of William Gibson's play Golda's Balcony. Feldshuh, who created the title role of Yentl in a 1975 Broadway stage production of Isaac Bashevis Singer's story, has also appeared on Broadway in the 1973 musical Cyrano, the 1974 comedy Dreyfus in Rehearsal, the revue Rodgers & Hart in 1975, the 1979 musical Sarava, and the comedy Lend Me a Tenor in 1990. She also took Golda's Balcony to Los Angeles. On television, she has appeared in the miniseries "Holocaust," for which she received an Emmy nomination, and played defence attorney Danielle Melnick in "Law and Order," receiving another Emmy nod. She had a leading role in the Hollywood film "Kissing Jessica Stein."
 
Scott Schwartz's production, which originated at Manhattan Ensemble Theatre in 2003, opened at Broadway's Helen Hayes Theatre in October 2003, where it ran for 493 performances until Jan. 2, 2005, making it the longest-running one-woman show in Broadway history.

ivas, the new dance spectacular from choreographer Peter Schaufuss, will receive its West End premiere at the Apollo theatre this summer. Running from 19 June until 5 July (press night 25 June), Divas pays homage to three of entertainment’s great female icons, Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland.
The production is separated into three acts, each one reflecting a different star’s art and individuality, and features original recordings including La Vie En Rose, Falling In Love Again and Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
This production marks the second time in two years that former Artistic Director of the English National Ballet, Schaufuss, has brought a dance show based on popular performers to the Apollo following 2007’s debut of Satisfaction, which was based around the music of the Rolling Stones.
Schaufuss, who began his career as an international ballet star on a par with Baryshnikov and Nureyev in the 1970s and 1980s, also choreographed the controversial Diana, The Princess, which premiered in Manchester in 2005.
Divas will be one of three shows with a connection to The Wizard Of Oz in the West End this summer, in addition to Wicked and the Royal Festival Hall’s revival of the magical musical. Child star Garland became a superstar overnight as a result of her performance as Dorothy in the famous film, but with fame and stardom came problems, and her continuing high-profile life was dogged by barbiturate addiction.
