If you love Derren Brown, and magic and mind-reading generally, The Psychic Project, David Narayan's show based on the true story of the Cold War's psychic spies, is a must-see.
Angels of the North (cancelled)
The world premiere of Angels of the North, the new comedy by John Godber (Bouncers, Up 'n' Under), is set around the 2019 general election as the Labour Party's 'red wall' collapsed. I'll chair a Q&A with Godber and guests as part of a fundraising evening for the National Youth Arts Trust charity.

Never Not Once (cancelled)
After my 2019 event to Katharine Farmer's revival of 1980s Wall Street satire Other People's Money, I'm delighted to reunite with the director on another serving of American theatre, this time the UK premiere of an award-winning new play, Carey Crim's Never Not Once.
Snowflakes (cancelled)
After the Old Red Lion Triptych in March, I'll return to the Islington venue for the world premiere of this darkest of modern comedies, the inaugural production from Dissident Theatre Company.
In Search of a White Identity (postponed)
As part of the industry-invite, opening night performance of In Search of a White Identity, the first new play developed and produced in association with The Actors Centre, I'll chair a discussion about both the play and the theatre's future plans.
The Last of the Pelican Daughters (cancelled)
After their acclaimed West End debut with Education Education Education, The Wardrobe Ensemble return to London with their latest acclaimed devised show, following an Edinburgh Fringe sell-out and UK tour.
