In the wings

A COMEDY about what has happened to education during the Blair years: The tests and the targets; the league tables and the terrors of Ofsted comes to the Bloomsbury Theatre.
First-hand experience and news reports have been distilled into a subversive comedy drama about a young teacher at the start of his career, managing to cram rapping, Shakespeare and gender-swapping into this topical satire.

A PRODUCTION from Central Saint Martins take you on a journey through sound with staged excerpts from Mozart, Rossini, Smetana, Gilbert and Sullivan and Puccini. The show runs for three days at the Cochrane Theatre from April 26.

A TENSE docudrama about The Kursk K141, the “unsinkable” submarine preserved at great cost following the collapse of the Soviet Union, runs at the Etcetera Theatre. Daniel McGowan’s claustrophobic play explores the events of August 2000 from the perspectives of the sailors trapped on board while commander Admiral Vyacheslav Popov leads a rescue mission. His political superiors were widely believed to have sealed the fate of the Kursk’s 20 crew. The show runs until April 29.
