New romcom musical Lovestuck is the theatre equivalent of a joyful summer beach read and could easily become one of this season's best sellers. Based very loosely on the real story of Poo-Girl, this story of finding love by being true to yourself features a happily upbeat score and a '90s film romcom vibe. 30-somethings Peter and Lucy are conventionally attractive and likeable, but, their nerdiness being Lord of the Rings-adjacent, they do not have much success on dating apps.

It is New Year's Eve, and a slightly drunk Victor Lloyd visits Norman Birch at his flat.

The Burning of a Sicilian Whore is based on the sparse facts known about the life of Giulia Tofana, a woman of humble beginnings who became a famous courtesan in 17th century Sicily. In Giulia Menichelli’s play, we see Tofana take advantage of an education provided by a brothel owner, going on to study the art of apothecary and enjoying a degree of the freedom and independence extended only to men.
