King Charles III is the latest production to transfer from the Almeida to the West End. Set after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, it focuses on the weeks between the former monarch's death and the new monarch's official crowning at their coronation ceremony. The production raises questions that have been raised repeatedly including the powers of the monarch and whether or not they're relevant anymore.

The Almeida Theatre's acclaimed production of King Charles III transfers to the Wyndham's Theatre for a limited season previewing from Tuesday 2 September with a press performance on Thursday 11 September.

GREAT BRITAIN, a new play by Richard Bean, directed byNicholas Hytner, opened at the National's Lyttelton Theatre on Monday 30 June. Let's see what the critics had to say:

Richard Bean's fast and furious new play is an anarchic satire about the press, the police and the political establishment. Billie Piper plays Paige Britain, ambitious young news editor of The Free Press, a tabloid newspaper locked in a never-ending battle for more readers.

The Daily Mail reports that Dermot Crowley (Luther) and Robert Glenister (Hustle, Spooks) have joined Richard Bean's new project for the National Theatre.

The Daily Mail reports that Billie Piper and Oliver Chris are among the actors working on a top-secret new play for Richard Bean at the National Theatre.

Gary Naylor sees a play that has that touch of Marmite about it - you'll love it or you won't! It's hard to get a grip on the Constitution of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - Brits may have written plenty of constitutions around the world, but they didn't write one for themselves.

Casting is announced for the World Premiere of Mike Bartlett's King Charles III directed by Almeida Theatre Artistic Director Rupert Goold. Public booking opens at 10am on Tuesday 25 February.

Almeida staff and supporters including Lesley Manville, Tobias Menzies, Jonjo O'Neill, Oliver Chris and Yotam Ottolenghi celebrated last night with Artistic Director Rupert Goold, Matt Smith and the rest of the American Psycho cast at a killer party to mark the success of the sell-out show and the start of Goold's tenure as Artistic Director of the Almeida Theatre.
