It won't be with Corden if it is OMTG I thought he said he was going to do it again but either way, do we really need it back right now? It's not been in the West End for some time so I would say it can come back.

Next show at the Trafalgar theatre is "the return of one of the best new plays of the century". Any ideas? The History Boys? I have an idea. Well, actually, I don't have an idea - I know what the play is. And it's even better news than it just being a revival of the play itself... As for James Corden, I was under the impression that he was about to be in a new play by a leading UK playwright in a major London venue that I think is scheduled for early summer - unless it has been shelved.

Interesting! Any clues?!

There is going to be a History Boys at Bath Theatre Royal, late August, directed by Sean Linnen. Sorry, I now see someone has already mentioned that!

I think we may know the same thing, re the Trafalgar, and I am really looking forward to seeing people’s reactions! Intrigued by the Corden rumours!

The Trafalgar show seems to be quite exciting judging by these posts. Anyone any idea when it will be announced, as I'm trying to finalise my May and June trips this week but may need to factor this show in, if it's a good one!

It's not King Charles III having been rewritten as King William V, is it?

Intrigued by the Corden rumours! Just been told he has stepped off the project. Not sure why. But I imagine that the knock-on effect might be that the theatre might have to programme something else in that slot - unless they have found another actor of similar profile to step in for Corden.

I don’t know which to put this news, either here or at the NT thread, but Tobias Menzies will be starring in the NT revival of Antigone by the end of the year. He’s currently starring in the Off-Broadway transfer of Hunt (based on the Thomas Vinterberg film), which started life at the Almeida in 2019. After his show ends this month, he’ll be resuming filming the Formula One film with Brad Pitt which was interrupted by the SAG-AFTRA strike last summer, then perform Antigone at the National by late 2024. www.theatermania.com/news/the-crown-star-tobias-menzies-talks-about-his-role-in-david-farrs-chilling-play-the-hunt_1733608/

I'd rather the Lyric Hammersmith had revived their Covid-cancelled Antigone (renamed The Burial at Thebes) as they were going to use the Seamus Heaney version. No doubt the NT will commission a modish new version from a lesser talent.

Any transfer rumours about The Witches that ran at the NT? That show could run as long as Matilda, it was so special.

That's one spot open at Old Vic between The Constituent ending 10 August and A Christmas Carol opening 09 November... anyone?

Any solid rumours as to what's going Drury Lane?
I know people have said Sweeney or Hercules, but curious if anyone has heard any more credible whispers.

I would guess there is a balance between what appears to be a license to print money and Tom Holland's availability.
