Recorded from our new TV studio, this week’s reviews are Patriots at the Noël Coward Theatre - starring Tom Hollander and Will Keen - plus A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Shakespeare’s Globe.

We speak with actor Jamie Parker, who you’ll know from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The History Boys. He joins us from Southwark Playhouse Elephant to talk about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

This interview includes:

• How you reverse the age of Benjamin Button on stage
• Performing as an adult Harry Potter - and what sold him on the prestigious role
• His time in The History Boys - and who he’s still mates with...

Plus, we discuss news of British theatre director Tim Sheader taking over as artistic director at the Donmar Warehouse.
