Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman. The story concerns a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition, of the past performers of the "Weismann's Follies", a musical revue (based on the Ziegfeld Follies), that played in that theatre between the world wars.
One man’s dream of the NHS.
From campaigning at the coalfield to leading the battle to create the NHS, Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan is often referred to as the politician with greatest influence on our country without ever being Prime Minister.
Confronted with death, Nye’s deepest memories lead him on a mind-bending journey back through his life, from childhood to mining underground, Parliament and fights with Churchill in an epic Welsh fantasia.
Michael Sheen (Under Milk Wood) reprises his role as Nye Bevan in this ‘valiant and valuable affirmation of the NHS’ (★★★★ Telegraph). Written by Tim Price (Teh Internet is Serious Business) and ‘vividly directed’ (★★★★ Times) by Rufus Norris (Small Island), this celebration of the life and legacy of the man who transformed Britain’s welfare state returns to the Olivier following a sell-out run.
Nye plays in the Olivier Theatre for a strictly-limited run from 3 July and at Wales Millennium Centre from 22 August.

A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.
Our sold-out production of The Importance of Being Earnest transfers to the West End this autumn, in a co-production with Sonia Friedman Productions.
Olly Alexander (It’s A Sin) plays Algernon Moncrieff in director Max Webster‘s (Donmar’s Macbeth; Life of Pi) joyful and flamboyant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s ‘glittering masterpiece’ (Telegraph), a hilarious story of identity, impersonation and romance.
Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity.
Meanwhile, his friend Algy takes on a similar facade. Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love.
Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.
The Importance of Being Earnest plays at the Noël Coward Theatre for a strictly-limited run from 18 September 2025. Tickets will go on general sale from midday on 16 June 2025.

This ain’t no classic play b*tches.
The Bacchae aren’t standing on the sidelines whilst the men have all the fun. These fangirls may be a pack but they’re not animals… They are stage-storming powerhouses ready to cause chaos in Thebes.
Whilst the Bacchae maraud in the mountains, their god Dionysos is taking part in his own f*cked-up family Olympics. He’s here to bring down his cousin King Pentheus. All to prove to the chorus of women that he’s more than just the god of rhyme, wine and a good time.
Indhu Rubasingham (The Father and the Assassin) brings Nima Taleghani’s (Heartstopper) exciting new version of Euripides’ ultimate tragedy to life through rhythm, movement and music.
Bacchae plays in the Olivier Theatre from 13 September 2025.

The Next Morning is a short film by Olivier Award-winning writer James Graham, commissioned to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Directed by Alice Wordsworth and produced by Emma Hall, this original film confronts the lingering echoes of war through the eyes of two generations, asking what the end of the Second World War means in a world shaped by its aftermath.
Set in contemporary Britain, the film interweaves three stories of children uncovering personal reflections from the day peace was declared in Europe in 1945.
As a wartime time capsule is uncovered in an allotment, a granddaughter discovers a diary in the attic, and a grandson reads an unsent letter to a father lost in the war, memories of VE Day resonate with new meaning. A new generation listens, reads, and remembers as the echoes of history come alive through diaries, keepsakes, and family stories — culminating in a new time capsule buried for the future.
Combining archival footage with deeply personal monologues, the film is a celebration of remembrance, resilience, and renewal — reminding us that peace is a legacy we must choose to carry forward.
The film is part of a year-long schools engagement programme responding to the events of VE and VJ Day and this significant period of the UK’s history.
Starting in September 2025, the schools engagement programme for Key Stages 3 and 4 will be delivered as part of a nationwide tour of Dear England, which will take the Olivier-winning play to 16 venues across the UK.
The schools programme will encourage young people across the UK to reflect on their own place in history, with assemblies and workshops delivered in schools across England, supporting students to share the hopes and aspirations that they have for themselves and other young people 80 years’ from now.
A resulting sound archive will form a 2025-2026 time capsule containing young people's voices for now, and the future.
The Next Morning is made possible thanks to funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The Olivier Award-winning smash hit returns to the National Theatre.
The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game?
The team has the worst track record for penalties in the world, and manager Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt to take team and country back to the promised land.
Writer James Graham (Punch, Nottingham Playhouse; Sherwood, BBC) updates his epic examination of nation and game to reflect Gareth Southgate’s final chapter as England manager. Rupert Goold (Patriots, Cold War, Almeida Theatre) once again directs this ‘back-of-the-net winner’ (The i).
Dear England is playing in the Olivier Theatre until 24 May, at Lowry from 29 May and touring nationally from 15 September.

Immaculate backstage vibes from the cast of Alterations...
Walker Holt has big dreams for his tailor’s shop, and an even bigger order to complete. Over the course of 24 hours he must work tirelessly to satisfy his new client’s impossible tailoring needs.
But as the night goes on, it’s not just the trouser hems that start to fray as tensions rise and Walker’s friendships and relationships are pushed to their limits. His success comes at a cost, but what price is he willing to pay?
Lynette Linton (Blues for an Alabama Sky, Shifters) directs Michael Abbensetts’ (Sweet Talk, Empire Road) era-defining drama, with additional material by Trish Cooke, in its largest ever staging.
Celebrating this award-winning writer, the reinvigorated version of his seminal work illuminates the Guyanese experience of 1970s London and the aspirations and sacrifices of the Windrush generation.
Alterations is playing in the Lyttelton Theatre until 5 April.
