I'm in love with love... or more precisely with Amour, as in the lushly romantic Michel Legrand musical fantasy now receiving its UK professional premiere at Charing Cross Theatre.
Q&A video and photos: Why is the Coronet the perfect home for The Glass Piano court tale?

Heroes Q&A video and photos: Raise your hand if you think David Bowie fandom transcends generations

Q&A video and photos: How is Donald Trump responsible for Other People’s Money?

Intra Muros Q&A video and photos: What is the point of theatre? How do actors marry up their dual lives?
