1. The Animals and Children Took to the Streets
Venue: Lyric Theatre

Seamlessly synchronising live music, performance and storytelling with film and animation, the Lyric’s new show is like a graphic novel bursting into life.

2. And The Rest of Me Floats
Venue: Bush Theatre
Dates: Feb 20 - March 16, tickets from £10 (book here)
In this playful and powerful production about the business of gender, performers from across the trans, non-binary, and queer communities weave together real-life stories, movement, pop songs, stand-up and dress-up.
3. The Girl on The Train
Venue: Richmond Theatre
Dates: Feb 11-16, tickets from £13 (book here)
Adapted from Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel (and 2016 film starring Emily Blunt) this is the gripping story of Rachel Watson (played by Samantha Womack), who longs for a different life. When she learns that the woman she’s been watching through the train window every day has disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery.
4. Rutherford & Son
Venue: The Questors Theatre
Dates: Feb 8-16, tickets from £7 (book here)
