Music icon Sting stars in his critically acclaimed musical, The Last Ship, in a revised new production, coming to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane this autumn. Featuring original music by The Police frontman himself, The Last Ship is a heartfelt and empowering musical about the shipbuilding community in his home city of Newcastle, as it reached its breaking point in the 1980s. Debuting in Chicago in 2014, the musical has enjoyed runs on Broadway, the West End, and in Australia. Inspired by Sting's own childhood, The Last Ship features some of the Grammy winner's best-loved songs, including "Island of Souls", "All This Time" and "When We Dance".

Following a sell-out run at The National Theatre, Pride transfers to London's Bridge Theatre, bringing one of Britain's most uplifting true stories to life. Produced by P&P Productions and the National Theatre, the production is helmed by director Matthew Warchus and writer Stephen Beresford, who reunite after collaborating on the BAFTA-winning 2014 film of the same name.

Comedian and actor Andy Sandberg adds a few more strings to his bow as this new play, penned and directed by the SNL and Lonely Island star, enjoys its world premiere this autumn at Riverside Studios. Based on true events, Affluenza is a razor-sharp exploration of power, privilege and generational wealth, as evidenced by one of the most reviled American legal defences of recent times.

A leader is no leader without the words to bring strength, hope and optimism to their people. No story reflects this greater than the Academy Award-winning film The King's Speech, written by the late David Seidler. Based on the very real events surrounding King George VI, his struggles with a speech impediment and a rather unorthodox solution in the form of the outlandish Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue, this stage adaptation by Seidler himself tours the country in 2027, directed by Loveday Ingram (The Girl on the Train).

A seemingly innocent conversation soon turns into a nightmarish and dangerous reality in this gripping thriller, written by Craig Warner and based on Alfred Hitchcock's iconic film (in turn based on Patricia Highsmith's acclaimed novel). Sets off on a UK tour in 2027, book your seat aboard this fantastic production directed by Roxana Sibert as it pulls into town.

Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men, based on the 1957 Academy Award-nominated movie of the same name, is revived for a UK tour directed once more by Christopher Haydon, starring Bill Ward, Gray O'Brien, Tristan Gemmill, and other theatre and TV stalwarts. A thrilling drama set in a courtroom, the poignant play proves that personal prejudices and the law make for an explosive combination. It remains as hard-hitting and vital today as it was at the apex of the civil rights movement in America when it was set.
