John Malkovich makes his much-anticipated stage return this summer in David Mamet's new play, a searing and satirical black comedy that promises to 'rip the pashmina off the suppurating wound that is showbusiness'. Bitter Wheat will follow the rise and fall of a maniacal and depraved studio boss, Barney Fein, and his all-consuming campaign for awards glory. Sound familiar? With Mamet's familiar wit and bitterness, it looks like whatever the outcome, Bitter Wheat will end up being one of the most talked about shows of the year.

Comedy fans rejoice as Michael Frayn's fantastic farce returns to the West End this autumn for a run at the Garrick Theatre, directed by Jeremy Herrin (Wolf Hall, Labour of Love). A love letter to backstage chaos and the utter unpredictability of theatre, it's been a classic since its 1982 premiere. Faithfully updated by Frayn for each iteration, it remains fresh and funny for each new audience!
