Toby Jones and David Harewood in Othello plus Pearl Chanda and Hiran Abeysekera

Nancy’s back from her holidays to join Nick Curtis and Nick Clark for a packed episode of reviews, interviews, and theatre gossip, including their thoughts on the big reveal of the week: how the Paddington musical is creating the bear live onstage. The team tackle Tom Morris’s starry Othello at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, with David Harewood and Toby Jones, and head to the Park Theatre for Hannah Doran’s debut drama The Meat Kings! (Inc.) of Brooklyn Heights. Plus Nick Curtis chats to Pearl Chanda about playing Hedda Gabler in Tanika Gupta’s bold new adaptation at the Orange Tree, and Hiran Abeysekera answers Five Questions including a brilliant worst moment on stage involving wet underpants (which seems to be becoming something of a theme in this podcast).
