Feature: QETC BRINGS THE POPULAR, SEXY NETFLIX ROMCOM, SMILEY TO THE STAGE!
The Queen’s English Theatre Company has been surprising audiences in Amsterdam since 2002, with often a very gay take on productions, such as Cabaret and The Importance of Being Earnest. They now take a new, innovative direction with an immersive staging of a double bill of two plays. For this production, the main stage of the CC Amstel Theater will have its own bar serving drinks before both the shows. The immersive tickets transport you to the streets, bars, clubs and parks of London and Barcelona. You’ll be part of the ‘crowd’ without being in the spotlight. But if you want a more relaxed evening at the show, seated tickets are also available, in the usual auditorium, in rows B,C and D. Staged intimately in the round, the plays share a number of themes. Love, sex and... going out! There are just 100 tickets per show.

Review: THE PLAY WITH THE REALLY LONG SLIGHTLY POETIC SOUNDING TITLE..., VAULT Festival
It’s a show about everything and nothing, with comic patterns that are so deliciously millennial and referential that a lack of contextual knowledge from the audience destroys its outcome. When the pieces fit together, however, your cheeks will be sore from laughing for an hour straight. They’re unafraid to overdo all of it, resulting in effectively caustic observations on the entertainment industry and how its advocacy is ultimately a self-serving sham.

BWW Feature: ENDLESS SECONDS at CC Amstel - box office now open!
The Queen's English Theatre Company kicks off its 20th anniversary year with a remarkably relevant play for the Netherlands - Endless Second. We talked to QETC's director Mark Winstanley. Dealing with issues of #metoo and sexual consent he told us it could almost be considered essential viewing for Talpa Media and for that matter for all men. (Talpa's The Voice of Holland has been taken off the air in the Netherlands amid a sexual misconduct scandal.)

BWW Review: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, Upstairs At The Gatehouse
Mary Rodger's (yes, daughter of that Richard Rodgers) 1959 musical Once Upon a Mattress makes an appearance in Highgate in a revival that, unfortunately, looks old and stuffy despite all the talent on stage.

ENDLESS SECOND Comes to The Edinburgh Fringe
W and M are thrown together as scene partners on the first day of their Drama degree. Their off-stage relationship soon develops into a real-life love story. Amateur dramatics free, their romance unfolds without incident and in the haze of young passion; they meet the families, go away together and carry one another through the stresses of their degree. They listen to each other. They respect each other.

BWW Review: SILVER LINING, Rose Theatre
It's a common complaint that as you get older, you start to become invisible to others. This is compounded further if you are an actress over a certain age. The recent performances of actresses such as Glenda Jackson as the titular role in King Lear have highlighted even more that there is dearth of roles for older women.
