Michael Harrison and Nica Burns today announce the world premiere of the new British musical The Little Big Things, based on the best-selling memoir by Henry Fraser. The Little Big Things opens @sohoplace on 2 September, and runs until 25 November 2023.

An extraordinary true story about an ordinary young man.

When one moment changes everything, Henry finds himself split between a past he no longer recognises and a future he can’t even begin to imagine. As he learns to navigate this new world, can he find a way to take control of his life, and keep his family from falling apart?

Based on the Sunday Times best-selling autobiography by Henry Fraser, The Little Big Things is a new British musical with an explosive theatrical pop soundtrack in a world premiere production.

This uplifting and colourful new musical is a life-affirming story of courage, transformation and a reminder that it’s the little things that really do matter the most.

An avid sportsman and academy player with a premiership Rugby club, Henry Fraser’s life changed forever when in 2009 he had a diving accident. From that moment he had a new life to live as a tetraplegic and new circumstances to accept and adapt to. Henry’s defiance and determination to prosper against devastating odds led to him wheeling himself out of hospital a whole year earlier than predicted. Today he is a successful artist, inspirational speaker and best-selling author.   

Henry Fraser said: “There have been many things that have happened since my accident that I never thought about in life, never planned and really surprised me, in a great way. This musical is one of those moments. The guys have been great to work with and the moment they played me a couple of songs I was sold. I still can’t believe it’s actually happening and it makes me incredibly excited and nervous.”

Created by a young team of exciting theatre makers, The Little Big Things has music by Nick Butcher (Loved Before), lyrics by Nick Butcher and Tom Ling (Techies: The Musical), a book by Joe White (Blackout Songs – Olivier Award nominated), and is directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet – Olivier Award winner, and Tony Award nominated).

Luke Sheppard said: “After an incredible development process over the last few years, it’s a privilege to be welcoming the world to this brand-new musical premiering at London’s newest theatre. With an extraordinary true story at the centre of it and an electrifying new score, we can’t wait to bring this thrilling new production to the stage.” 

Starring Ed Larkin as Man Henry Fraser and Jonny Amies as Boy Henry Fraser, with further casting to be announced.

Ed Larkin said: “It’s an honour to be able to tell this story and be trusted with such a role. To be making my West End debut in a musical as a wheelchair user feels incredible. I haven’t seen wheelchair users in musical theatre in the UK, so I feel honoured to be a part of a cast that is telling this story and pushing the boundaries of what’s expected on a West End stage.”

Also released exclusively today is the production’s title track, ‘The Little Big Things’ – please findhere.

Nick Butcher said: “Getting to know Henry Fraser and his family has been both a joy and a key part of the song writing process. Many of our personal conversations inspired songs within the show both honouring and expanding on Henry’s autobiography. It’s a rollercoaster of a ride musically, much like Henry and his family’s emotional journey in the show.”

When Producer Michael Harrison heard a demo tape of music for a brand new musical from an exciting up and coming British theatre team, he stopped in his tracks. When he read the inspiring book it was based on – The Little Big Things by Henry Fraser – he knew he wanted to bring this uplifting and heart-warming story to the West End. By serendipitous coincidence, Nica Burns was in the process of building the first new West End theatre in 50 years @sohoplace with unrivalled accessibility. Over garden meetings during Covid constraints, Michael shared the project with Nica and together they agreed to produce this unique world premiere production in the West End’s newest theatre.

The Actors’ Church kicks off its sensational summer season with West End stars

Summer Season: May – September 2023

St Paul’s Church, Bedford Street, London, WC2E 9ED

The Actors’ Church has announced further events for Theatre in the Garden, its dedicated summer season filled with Shakespearean comedy, puppetry, comedy and new takes on classic tales. Eight visiting companies will bring a wide variety of innovative theatre to the Church’s award-winning gardens, marking a new era for the Actors’ Church. St Paul’s, world renowned as the Actors’ Church, lies at the heart of London’s West End. This follows Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to the Church in May, which was their first engagement since their Coronation.

Mark Robert Petty presents a series of events running throughout the summer, kicking off with Don’t Tell The Bishops! The After-Pride Concert on Sunday 2nd July at 7.30pm celebrating songs from LGBTQ+ themed musicals and classic Pop songs. The concert will raise money for the LGBT charity OneBodyOneFaith, which supports marriage equality in the Church of England. Following this a celebration of all things Wickedly Ever-Green…A Musical Theatre Celebration, which will take place on Sunday 16th July at 7.30pm, featuring 6 former stars of the musical. Completing the series is Masquerade…A Musical Theatre Celebration of The Phantom Of The Opera descends on the venue on Sunday 23rd July at 7.30pm

The Reverend Simon Grigg, Rector, comments, ‘We are delighted to have launched our summer season, with the triumph that was As You Like It, presented by The Three Inch Fools. Outdoor theatre is in our bones and this season will attest to that. But the West End also has its beating heart here in Covent Garden and we would be remiss not to celebrate Musical Theatre as part of our summer extravaganza. Our three electric concerts will delight and dazzle visitors with the cream of theatre talent, promising to produce a fabulous night of entertainment which may even see some “homegrown” talent return to the stage after a gap of over thirty years… but I of course, couldn’t possibly comment….’

Shakespeare in the Square stages Shakespeare in London’s garden spaces every summer. Their Patron is Dame Judi Dench, who is a great friend of St. Pauls. They will perform Shakespeare’s glorious romantic comedy of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night (30th June – 1st July) set in the roaring 1920s. This year’s production is kindly sponsored by Chestertons.

Tethered Wits will welcome audiences to the ultimate Jazz Age party, for an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece of American literature The Great Gatsby (17th – 24th August). The company will then bring a fun, family-friendly story of Doctor Dolittle (18th – 24th August) to the church, using magnificent puppetry to fill the courtyard with every kind of creature imaginable.

Troubadour Stageworks will stage a fast paced, high-energy version of Romeo + Juliet (5th – 8th July) suitable for all the family. Audiences will be whisked away on a magical visit to Verona, with newly composed music and even a dance or two. The company will also present a new adaption of The Odyssey (4th – 6th August) which is full of music and adventure – the perfect way to encounter a classic at any age.

Originally created in 2015 to critical acclaim, Henry I from Rabble Theatre returns at a time when its themes resonate more acutely than ever. Henry I is written by the company’s resident writer Beth Flintoff. Rabble Theatre are known for their award-winning historical seasons and championing the forgotten women of history.

Slapstick Picnic Peter Pan (13th – 15th July) is a theatrical treat like no other as they whip up a three hander version of JM Barrie’s classic tale Peter Pan. Let your imagination soar as they dish out this timeless tale of hapless pirates, revolting children and a particularly punctual reptile…

The award-winning Illyria Theatre Company return to St Paul’s with Jane Austen’s scandalous romcom Pride and Prejudice (1st – 2nd August). It flips the traditional costume drama on its head for a whirlwind of parties, romance, and gossip.

The Three Inch Fools return after the success of As You Like It, rushed off their feet performing the legendary folktale Robin Hood (1st – 3rd September) with a production which can only be described as disastrous.

To conclude the season the HandleBards, the company of cycling Shakespearean actors, will delight audiences with their hilarious, high-octane production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (7th – 8th September). The company carry all their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, performing extremely energetic, charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the UK.

Fantastic cast announced for Figure’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream at
Opera Holland Park
Thursday 29th June – Saturday 1st July 2023, 7.30pm
Opera Holland Park Theatre, Ilchester Place, London, W8 6LU

This summer, acclaimed historical performance ensemble Figure return to London’s Opera
Holland Park after the success of their fantastically detailed (The Guardian) 2022 performance of Handel’s Serse with a fresh staging of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Unbridled desire meets magic as Figure stages Shakespeare’s celebrated comedy, accompanied by Mendelssohn’s enchanting orchestral score.

Mischief-maker Puck will be played by T. S. Eliot Prize-winning poet and performer Joelle Taylor (BLUE NOW, Tate; UK Slam poetry champion), and Bottom will be played by Jay Mailer (Boiling Point, BBC; Emmerdale, ITV). Playing the role of fairy queen of the forest Titania is comedian and actress Anna Leong Brophy (Shadow and Bone, Netflix; Last Tango in Halifax, BBC; Henry VI Part 1, RSC), and her King Oberon will be played by acclaimed British TV and movie actor Ray Fearon (Fleabag, BBC Three; Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, Warner Bros; Beauty and the Beast, Walt Disney Studios; Macbeth, National Theatre Live), who is an Associate Artist of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Figure’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will star Eleanor Sutton (Wuthering Heights, Wise
Children UK/US Tour; Amadeus, National Theatre) as Helena, Hannah Rose Caton (The Da Vinci Code, UK Tour; Last Knights, Lionsgate) as Hermia, Johan Munir (Into the Woods, Theatre Royal Bath; Saving Grace, Riverside Studios) as Demetrius, and Emmanuel Olusanya (Phaedra, National Theatre) completes the set of lovers as Lysander.

The marvellous Mechanicals will be played by the following: Gail Sixsmith (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, RSC; The Winter’s Tale, RSC) as Quince, Jordan Laviniere (Wuthering Heights, Wise Children; Everyone’s Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre) as Flute, Susie Coutts (Running Wild, Chichester Festival Theatre) as Snout, William Edden (Oliver, UK Tour; Les Misérables, Queens Theatre) as Snug, and Joyce Henderson (The Street of Crocodiles, Complicité; The Magic Flute, Complicité) rounding off the cast as Starveling.

Director Samuel Rayner comments, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is arguably Shakespeare’s most loved comedy but – like a fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm – the aspects of the play that seem sweet and gentle conceal the diabolical perversity at its heart. Beneath the japes, Dream explores patriarchal power and violence, restrictions on sexual freedom, and frequently questions our perception of reality

The Athenian court is a world of rigidity but, in the woods, characters are liberated from the court’s rule; it is a space where desire reigns, where conscious and unconscious experience is probed and laid bare, and where the imagination (and the mechanicals’ creativity) – which is so closely aligned with magic and love – abounds.

Our production’s fairy-tale aesthetic seeks to pose questions about our perception of reality. By using an interactive and malleable set design, where we repeatedly create and reimagine the space, we allow the surreal and the real to move side by side. The design also incorporates a 19th-century aesthetic, in sympathy with Felix Mendelssohn’s Romantic incidental music, which both accompanies and drives the drama in this production as we reunite this towering music with Shakespeare’s much-loved play

Struggling with a difficult past, Alex Shaw is attempting to take steps forward. We follow her journey over twenty years, through two loves – young, adventurous idealist, Stephen, and the older, reliable and charming Peter –  as she gathers the scattered chapters of her life, in the hope of re-building her story and asking if she will ever be more than just “fine”.

Through Alex’s experiences, her uplifting story questions how relationships can change over time and explores what it takes to truly heal.

Accept what was. Embrace what could be.

This beautiful performance of Christy Lefteri’s poignant novel ‘The Beekeeper of Aleppo’ was adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, also known for adapting the West End and Broadway version of The Kite Runner, a novel that similarly conveys an emotional and unforgettable story following the horrific circumstances that refugees face. This timeless production, directed by Miranda Cromwell, speaks up on social issues while portraying a compassionate narrative that beautifully encapsulates human nature and explores the characters’ relationships and how they grow and develop throughout this incredible journey. There are glimpses of hope throughout, emphasised by subtle and well-delivered humour, which keep the audience invested in the characters’ happy endings.

The actors’ compassionate performances allow the audience to witness the powerful and moving story of a former Beekeeper Nuri (played by Alfred Clay) and his wife Afra (played by Roxy Fairdany) and their heroic yet catastrophic journey, trying to find refuge from the war in Syria after their hometown Aleppo was made inhabitable by brutal bombings. They are forced to leave their entire livelihood behind and dangerously make their way across Turkey and Greece, uncertain of what lies ahead but full of courage and hoping to be reunited with Nuri’s cousin Mustafa, (played by Joseph Long) an enthusiastic and optimistic man who becomes broken by the war and its inconsolable effects on his family. The nonchronological narrative allows shocking information to be withheld and revealed in a way that generates shock value. Flashbacks are scattered throughout the play, creating a disjointed storyline that reflects the impact of traumatic events on memories, also shown by Afra’s deteriorating health. In order to come to terms with the distressing events Nuri and his wife endured while seeking refuge, and to cope with the loss of his son, Nuri creates a character of a young boy who was present throughout their journey. As the couple make their way to the UK, we continue to wonder whether they will not only find asylum in the UK, but also a comfortable life where they can rebuild their relationship.

As new characters were revealed the audience was able to recognise the complex journey of fleeing from war as a refugee. The immigration officer (played by Daphne Kouma) reminds us of the treatment that refugees receive when they arrive in foreign countries and how they are often misunderstood and overlooked by the western world. This brings light to the reality of asylum seekers and the patronising attitudes of those who are supposed to offer support. We also gain insight into the stories of other immigrants for example Angeliki in Athens (played by Nadia Williams) who shares a heart-breaking and powerful anecdote, and the Moroccan man (played by Joseph Long), staying at the same Bed and Breakfast as Nuri and Afra, who takes an interest in British customs.

This production brought a fantastic and visually striking set design as well as stunning effects which tied the performance together brilliantly. Projections of scenery highlighted the beauty and richness of Syria and its beloved city of Aleppo. These visual aids and the dramatic sound effects helped to build an atmosphere and convey the harsh and bleak conditions faced by the refugees, whether it was the aggressiveness of the sea or the picturesque fields. This brilliantly written story also uses the vocabulary of the characters’ own dialect to give a voice to refugees, allowing them to share their culture and stories. The extended metaphor of the bees working in harmony brought Nuri hope throughout the play, and despite the reluctance of others to offer their help and the horrendous circumstances he is thrown into; Nuri finds a way to remain hopeful.

This deeply moving narrative demonstrates the reality of those seeking asylum and its authentic performance has the ability to move its spectators to tears. It is an outstanding production that is not to be missed and the unforgettable and sentimental story it tells will leave a lasting impression on its audience.

FULL CASTING FOR SCHOOLS’ TOUR OF

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S HENRY V

Artistic Director Michael Longhurst and Executive Director Henny Finch today announce the cast for the Donmar LOCAL schools’ tour of William Shakespeare’s Henry V, directed by the Donmar’s former Resident Assistant Director Dadiow Lin. Inspired by the critically acclaimed 2022 Donmar Warehouse production directed by Max Webster, the production tours for four weeks in June and July, with performances offered free of charge reaching up to 3000 young people in Camden and Westminster thanks to support from Headline Partner Howdens and Westminster City Council.

Dadiow Lin directs James Esler, Shaka Kalokoh, Gabin Kongolo, Natalie Kimmerling, Jess Nesling and Felipe Pacheco. The production’s Designer Roisin Jenner and Movement Director Liam Francis have both been part of CATALYST, the Donmar’s talent development programme, working on the original Donmar production of Henry V as Creative Assistants.

Dadiow Lin says “Having worked as the Resident Assistant Director at the Donmar for the last year, I am excited that I get to come back and create this Donmar LOCAL Production. I assisted Max Webster on his production of HENRY V last year and with the knowledge and inspiration I drew from the production, the team and I want to create a Shakespeare show that is accessible and evokes young people’s imagination as well as making them intrigued by the theatricality we present to them. It is also wonderful to be working with creatives who were assistants on the original production through CATALYST, the Donmar’s talent development programme.”

TWO PERFORMANCES ADDED TO WEST END RUN OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED WEST END PRODUCTION OF MARTIN SHERMAN’S ROSE, STARRING MAUREEN LIPMAN

BOOKING AT THE AMBASSADORS THEATRE UNTIL SUNDAY 18 JUNE

EXTRA MATINEES ADDED SATURDAY 10 AND SATURDAY 17 JUNE @ 2.30PM

http://roseonstage.co.uk/

The award-winning, critically acclaimed 5-star production of Martin Sherman’s ROSE will extend at the Ambassadors Theatre, due to phenomenal demand. Two extra matinees are now on sale, with tickets available for Saturday 10 and Saturday 17 June at 2.30pm. Maureen Lipman stars as ‘Rose’, a performance described as ‘phenomenal…extraordinary’ (Time Out, 4*), “funny, hear-tbreaking and fierce all at once…a masterclass in acting(Whatsonstage.com, 5*), “mesmerising” (Jewish News) and “acidic, funny and touching” (Daily Telegraph, 4*).

Rose, a woman whose tumultuous journey through anarchic times takes her from the devastation of Nazi- occupied Europe to the allure of the American dream. Through the life of one woman, Rose tells the story of a century where everything changed except the violence of the strong against the weak.

The original production of Rose was produced at the National Theatre and on Broadway in 1999. Following sell-out runs at Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, and Park Theatre in London in 2022, it transferred to the West End on 23 May 2023. It is perhaps even more relevant today, with the plight of refugees and allegations of antisemitism continuing to dominate the news. This powerful production – described as ‘a masterpiece’ (The Spectator) and ‘all too timely’ (Daily Telegraph) – is a moving reminder of the harrowing events that shaped the last century. 

Olivier Award winning Maureen Lipman has performed with The National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and has starred in innumerable West End productions including, Messiah, Wonderful Town, ReJoice, Glorious, Oklahoma, & Daytona. For the last five years she has been delighting television audiences as ‘Evelyn Plummer’ on Coronation Street.

Maureen Lipman said, “This play has resounded with the spirit of so many theatre-goers.  It will probably finish me, but we had to find a way to allow more of them to see it! So, an extra two matinees! I hope you’ve prepared the eulogy!”

Written by award-winning Martin Sherman whose other plays include Bent, Messiah, A Madhouse In Goa, When She Danced, Gently Down The Stream, as well as the Broadway musical The Boy From Oz and the films Alive and Kicking and Mrs Henderson Presents.  

Rose is directed by Scott Le Crass, designed by David Shields with lighting design by Jane Lalljee, and with musical composition and sound design by Julian Star.
