Sondheim's final musical to play at the National Theatre

The play, directed by American Horror Story actor, Joe Mantello, is accompanied by a book by Tony Award nominee David Ives. It had its off-Broadway premiere in New York in October 2023 and is now set for its UK debut next April.

Here We Are follows a group of people who are unable to leave a dinner party, while other guests constantly arrive for dinner but are unable to eat. The cast includes Tracie Bennett, Rory Kinnear, and Denis O’Hare. The show – based on Luis Bunuel films The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel – was initially workshopped in 2016 with plans for a production at the Public Theater, which did not happen.

Tuchel left with big calls to make after Carsley refresh

No pressure, Thomas. Lee Carsley hands over to Thomas Tuchel promising to give England’s next manager a comprehensive debrief on the three autumn camps but perhaps also elevating expectations. Not so much with the results – promotion in the Nations League was anticipated for a team ranked fourth in the world and who reached the final of Euro 2024 – as with his assessment of England’s prospects for the time covered by Tuchel’s 18-month deal.
