‘A vigorous apologist for a cruel emperor’: Is Caryl Churchill’s explosive new play about Trump and his press officers?
By Michael Billington

From Thatcherism to global crisis to an ever-online world, she has chronicled our race to the abyss. Now she’s written a play about a blond-wigged voicepiece for an un-named, strongman ruler. Who can she mean?

Last night’s show was #RomeoAndJuliet at the #AlmeidaTheatre. It is a great production, with impressive performances and some really impactful visuals. I also really enjoyed the talkback afterward, where Assistant Director Justina Kehinde and eight cast members shared a number of thoughtful and insightful comments.

Highly praised production of A Streetcar Named Desire with Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran is transferring from #AlmeidaTheatre to West End’s Phoenix. On sale 1 Feb

I was at the #AlmeidaTheatre yesterday to watch #StreetcarNamedDesire.

Its a thrilling and cosy venue, and sitting in the front I was close enough to put my feet out to trip #PaulMescal if I wanted to (which I didnt!). Patsy Ferran sucks you in as Blanche from the first minute.

I should definitely go to the #theatre more often - its a great reminder of our analogue physicality.

The #AlmeidaTheatre has cancelled the first week of A Streetcar Named Desire following the withdraal of Lydia Wilson for health reasons. It will now open on 17 December with Patsy Ferran as Blanche #theatre
