This week Darren and Natalie cover a packed episode spanning major casting announcements, explosive physical theatre, and an intimate world premiere that cuts straight to the heart.

We were at the Thomas Hopkins Productions press launch announcing three exciting productions:

Maureen Lipman starring in Allegra

Wendi Peters leading Glorious

And The Jonathan Larson Project, celebrating the visionary composer behind Rent and Tick, Tick… Boom! A glimpse at what promises to be an exciting season ahead.

Frantic Assembly’s Lost Atoms

Jess and Robbie’s love story begins with a chance meeting and unfolds into something extraordinary - or so they remember. Written by Anna Jordan (Succession, Yen, The Unreturning) and staged with Frantic Assembly’s signature physical intensity, Lost Atoms dives into the soaring highs and devastating lows of a relationship shaped as much by memory as reality. Funny, raw and emotionally charged, it asks: when love ends, whose version survives?

Guess How Much I Love You?

A pregnant couple wait for their 20-week scan - and the life they imagined begins to shift. This devastating and beautifully observed new play by Bruntwood Prize-winner Luke Norris, directed by Olivier Award-winner Jeremy Herrin, explores parenthood, impossible decisions and enduring love. A powerhouse cast including Rosie Sheehy, Robert Aramayo, and Lena Kaur deliver deeply affecting performances in this world premiere that lingers long after the curtain falls.
