Description

This week, the LTR gang dive into Robert Hastie’s fresh and funny Hamlet at the National Theatre, with Hiran Abeysekara as a manic, compelling Prince and Francesca Mills delivering a revelatory Ophelia. Susan Sarandon makes her UK stage debut in Tracy Letts’ Mary Page Marlowe at the Old Vic, but she's matched by Andrea Riseborough and Rosie McEwen in a starry ensemble cast. Nancy chats to David Shields about starring in James Graham’s deeply moving play Punch, now at the Apollo, and the team remember the formidable Patricia Routledge. Plus, five questions with Nathaniel Parker and a Hamlet-themed quiz.
