The Story focuses on Vivie Warren and her mothers relationship. Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Estranged from her wealthy mother, she delights in a glass of whisky and is determined to have a sparkling legal career.

Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune and paid for her daughter’s expensive education – but at what cost? The play explores their relationship and how it changes once Vivie realises what her mothers profession is.

Book now to watch Imelda Staunton in Mrs. Warren’s Profession from 10th May – 16th August at The Garrick Theatre.

STEREOPHONIC
Duke of York’s Theatre – opens 24th May

Stereophonic new shows west end

This new show is coming to London following its sucessful Broadway run. In fact, the show was so sucessful it is the most Tony Award nominated play of all time. Out of its 13 nominations, it won 5 of them. It is about the ups and downs of creating music. The story takes place in a music studio in 1976. It follows an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album as they find themselves suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. A tale as old as time, will the empending stardom make or break them? The show aims to immerse the audience with fly-on-the-wall intimacy in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

Stereophonic was written by David Adjumi and Will Butler wrote the music. As a former member of an indie-rock band himself, we’re excited to hear Butler’s original songs for this show. Although the new show features original songs, it is in fact a play with the actors playing music and singing live on stage. As the show has been on before elsewhere in the world, long time cast members Eli Gelb, Andrew R Butler and Chris Stack are rejoining the west end cast.

Stereophonic is playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 24th May – 20th September 2025, book your tickets here.
