There’s a revival of the carnivalesque 2019 Midsummer Night’s Dream, director Ola Ince’s eagerly awaited Romeo and Juliet, and Twelfth Night with artistic director Michelle Terry as Viola.


If you can’t get into the Wooden O for its new summer season then fear not: most of the shows are being streamed. Performed by a cast of six including the phenomenal Shelley Eva Haden. Faith’s new piece is built around autobiographical testimonies of isolation and research into the challenges faced by coastal towns with underfunded services, presenting “a society at tipping point”. Rhiannon Faith’s dance-theatre productions have tackled tough subjects in bold and surprising ways: her fringe show Scary Shit wormed its way into the brain with its mix of troubling and comforting images. It can also be watched online as there are three encore screenings from 18–20 June, with audio description and captions available. Directed by Charlotte Bennett, the play reopened the Kiln theatre in London where it runs until 12 June.

Amy Trigg’s debut play about a twentysomething navigating friendship, romance and spina bifida in a sometimes hostile world was a joint winner of the inaugural Women’s Prize for Playwriting.
