We have announced our new season! The box office phones have
barely stopped ringing since we announced our autumn line-up on Tuesday. It’s
lovely to hear that people are just as excited for the upcoming shows as we
are. If you’ve missed the news, here’s what’s coming up at the brand new Print
Room at the Coronet…
First up is an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Notes From Underground, starring the
wonderful Harry Lloyd (who some readers may recognise from his TV roles such as
Game of Thrones and, our favourite, Doctor Who). This show was first presented
in Paris earlier this year.
Due to high demand, Harry will be performing two shows a
night during the week. Since it’s coming direct from Paris, there’ll be certain
nights with French surtitles. To start brushing up on your language skills now,
here’s a review of the Parisian performance.
Then in November, we have legend of stage and screen, Dame
Janet Suzman, co-starring in a beautiful redemptive tale about post-Apartheid South
Africa. Solomon and Marion is a
production from the Baxter Theatre and has been an international success, so we’re
thrilled to give the show its London debut. We’ve just received note that the
set has arrived in the UK – all the way from its American run at the Kennedy
Center!
To finish off the year in December, we’re doing one of our
popular Poetry @ the Print Room evenings – with David Harsent, the poet who
launched our very first poetry evening. We also have a festive treat – Clive Francis
performs his much-loved version of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Because
it’s Christmas, we’re doing some special prices for children, so be sure to
check those out!
In other news, it’s a Bank Holiday weekend and of course the
Notting Hill Carnival is readying itself to storm the streets. Some of you may
remember that last year the Print Room screened a special documentary about the
history of the procession. We love the spirit of this weekend and we wish
everyone a happy Carnival!
