Jonathan Bailey in Richard II, KT Tunstall, Backstroke

from The London Theatre Review

From dashing prince to hopeless king, Jonathan Bailey leaves the world of Wicked behind - for a few months at least - as he takes on one of Shakespeare's trickier tyrants in Richard II at the Bridge Theatre. Nancy, Nick and Nick give their verdicts. Two national treasures hit the Donmar stage this month: Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig play a mother and daughter dealing with the consequences of a stroke in Anna Mackmin's new play Backstroke. And Nancy chats to KT Tunstall about her musical adaptation of iconic 90s film Clueless. Thanks to our sponsor Art of London, whose spectacular Art After Dark returns to London's West End from 6-8 March featuring public art installations, late night gallery openings and more - this time with an intergalactic twist.
