Trevor Nunn to Direct ALL THAT FALL, Starring Eileen Atkins & Michael Gambon at Jermyn Street, Oct 9-Nov 3by BWW News Desk - May 27, 2012On the back of Jermyn Street Theatre’s recent announcement of the UK premiere of Henrik Ibsen’s comic fantasy St John’s Night, to be staged this July, the smallest theatre in the heart of the West End announces another major production for this autumn.

Jermyn Street's production of ALL THAT FALL will play 9th October - 3rd November, with press night set for 11th October at 7.30pm. (more...)
