Five of the Best Theatre Shows

War Horse

It is possibly the National’s biggest hit, having played in 11 countries to more than seven million people. Now, Marianne Elliott and Tom Morris’s production returns to the venue 11 years after its first show. A Christmas treat.

National Theatre, November 8 to January 5

Christmas Spectacular

The small Norfolk town of Fakenham receives around 110, 000 visitors annually for this seasonal institution, which has been running for 42 years. Even the royal family have come to the show.

Thursford Collection, November 6 to December 23

Company

The trend for gender-change roles continues with Stephen Sondheim’s 1970 musical, in which the hero Bobby—turning 35 and at an emotional crossroads—becomes the female Bobbie. It works. In the updated Company, the plot remains the same and there’s funny acting from Rosalie Craig in the lead. Marianne Elliott directs with her habitual imagination.

Gielgud Theatre, November 7 to March 30

Macbeth

There have been a couple of versions of the Scottish Play this year. The Globe hopes for a better opening for its winter season. The rest of the season includes Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus with Pauline Melynn as Mephistopheles, and Richard Ⅱ with a cast of women of colour.

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, November 7 to February 2

Troilus and Cressida

To present Polonius in Hamlet, the production of this “problem” play is comical-historical in new RSC (英国皇家莎士比亚剧团) staging. There is even the first deaf actor in a mainstream RSC role, Charlotte Arrowsmith, signing her lines as Cassandra.
