Plays You Hope Get Revived
Mar 20 2026, 11:23:58 PM
I can kind of understand why they're rarely produced because he writes for massive casts, but I'd like to see some of the works of Sidney Kingsley be rediscovered. Plays of his like Men in White, Dead End, or Detective Story still play as surprisingly (and in some cases, depressingly) relevant today.

HAPPY FEET musical headed to Minneapolis in 2028
Mar 19 2026, 04:41:35 PM
I've seen the movie precisely once, at a church event when I was probably 15. Even at the time I thought it was fairly featherweight (so to speak), and I have almost no memory of it. Although I wouldn't be surprised if I would appreciate it more on a rewatch. It's probably a better movie than Purple Rain, if nothing else.
That said, it feels like something that could be adapted to the stage fairly well. Arden directing new material

Most of Feldman's criticisms seem to come from the practicality of staging an intimate show based around audience participation at a venue as big as the Hudson.
But he does also make an interesting point about how previous productions with an unknown actor at its center made the material come across as more genuinely autobiographical than it does with a star as big as Radcliffe. I saw a production of this in the town where I live a few years ago where the performer was a notable&nb

Quentin Tarantino says his next project is a stage play
Mar 6 2026, 05:20:28 PM
According to the Daily Mail. Tarantino "has written an original, old-fashioned British farce, in the door-slamming, trouser-dropping, mistaken identity vein of Brian Rix or Ray Cooney." aimed at premiering on the West End in 2027 or even late 2026.
Normally I wouldn't take the Daily Mail at face value, but the story was also picked up by Variety, so that gives it a little more credibility.

Donald Trump bioplay DONALD from THE LEHMAN TRILOGY author Stefano Massini sets UK premiere
Feb 28 2026, 11:14:58 AM
SteveSanders said: "Kad said: "Yeah the last thing I need to see is Trump from the perspective of the British."
Serious question:Is there a playwright whose perspective on Trump would you find appealing?
My hunch is Kushner could do justice to his terrible reign even if Trump himself was not necessarily a real character in the play."
Kushner himself mentioned in 2017 that he was working on a play about Trump (who he astutely described as being both "borderline psychotic" and "very boring") but indeed wasn't sure whether or not Trump himself would appear as a character in it
