## *Pygmalion* (12 September)
Adapted from **George Bernard Shaw**’s classic drama-comedy, *Pygmalion* is a timeless tale of transformation, identity, and the power of language. After a chance meeting with Professor Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering, Eliza Doolittle finds herself the subject of a spontaneous bet. On Pickering’s challenge, the professor attempts to mold the young flower seller into a ‘respectable’ lady. However, Eliza is brilliantly irrepressible, and refuses to shed her own character and values in order to please these two entitled men. This subversive satire on class is bitingly funny whilst also highlighting prejudices that are still present today. Starring **Bertie Carvel** (*The Crown*) as Higgins and **Patsy Ferran** (*A Streetcar Named Desire*) as Eliza, don’t miss your chance to see **Richard Jones**' latest directorial offering when it plays at the [Old Vic](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/old-vic-theatre-london) for a strictly limited run.

Pussycat Dolls superstar **Nicole Scherzinger** makes her much-anticipated West End return in **Andrew Llyod Webber**’s *Sunset Boulevard*.

Determined to make a triumphant return to the silver screen, Norma will do whatever it takes to whoever it takes to once again taste the fame and adoration she has craved for so long.

## *Hamnet* (30 September)
Adapted from **Maggie O’Farrell**’s Sunday Times Best Seller, and transferring to the West End after a hugely successful run in Stratford-upon-Avon, *Hamnet* explores Shakespeare’s biggest tragedy… his own. When the plague claims the life of their beloved son, William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes Hathaway, are torn apart - both left reeling with the unimaginable pain of losing a child. Agnes unravels into a paralysing depression, whilst William is gripped in horrified silence, unable to find his voice in order to comfort his devastated wife. A universal story of family dynamics, and the necessary reinvention needed to overcome, and make peace with, pain. *Hamnet* is a lyrical and poignant play that explores marriage, family, and grief.
