Much Ado About Nothing, Unicorn, Omari Douglas from It's A Sin
Not even Sigourney Weaver could save Jamie Lloyd's The Tempest from its gloom spiral - but Lloyd is back for the second part of his Shakespeare at Drury Lane season with a Marvel special, turning Loki and Agent Carter (well, Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell) into Benedick and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. There's confetti. There are balloons. There are 90s club bangers. So is Lloyd's reputation restored? Nick, Nick and Nancy find out.
Room for one more? Mike Bartlett's new play Unicorn at the Garrick looks at the dynamics of a throuple, and there are worse throuples to be in than one involving Stephen Mangan, Nicola Walker and Erin Doherty. LTR's own devoted trio give their verdict on the play.
And Omari Douglas, known for his roles in It's A Sin, Cabaret and Black Doves, talks about Black queer stories as he stars in new play Lavender, Hyacinth, Violet, Yew by Coral Wylie at the Bush Theatre.
