  Company
   
  Review By Oliver Valentine
   
  Company at Walthamstow’s Ye Olde Rose and Crown theatre pub is a must for all musical theatre lovers. It will delight Sondheim fans and may even convert those new to his work into avid disciples.

  Noises Off
   
  Review By Kelly Potter
   
  Frayn’s farce within a farce uses this much-debated genre to highlight the hilarities of human nature by taking the audience backstage of a touring theatre company.

  Widowers' Houses at Manchester Royal Exchange
   
  Review By Caroline May
   
  Widowers’ Houses, George Bernard Shaw’s first stab a playwriting, begins almost like a boulevard comedy of Brits abroad behaving badly.

  Spider's Web
   
  Review by Sue Marks
   
  There is very little you can say about a mystery without revealing the plot; suffice to say if you go to see this you will not be disappointed.

  Horrible Histories @ The King's Theatre, Glasgow
   
  Review By David Feeney
   
  Following the huge international success of historian and author Deary’s educational, entertaining and often irreverent children’s book series -and its various merchandising offshoots and subseries - the much loved Horrible Histories has genre hopped, and is currently running as both a touring stage production and a CBBC miniseries.

  Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet reread The Juliet Letters
   
  Review By Adam Tocock
   
  It was not explained exactly why Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet reunited to perform ‘songs from the last century’ alongside new pieces at the Barbican last night, but I’m awfully glad they did.
