Mikhail Bulgakov’s acclaimed 20th Century novel The White Guard comes to the National Theatre in London, in its first revival for thirty years. Andrew Upton’s new version (translated by Charlotte Pyke) is currently showing in the Lyttleton Theatre. Theatre tickets are currently on sale.

The White Guard (previously staged as The Day of The Turbins) is set in Kiev, capital of the Ukraine in late 1918. Following the October revolution, the German government lays poised between The White Guard resistance and the Bolshevik army. The Turbin siblings Alexei, Nikolai and Elena are reunited following the death of their mother. Here they become the hub of the local war effort, and the Ukrainians flock to their apartment for sanctuary, where they rally for social change. Meanwhile Elena’s husband Talberg is serving as deputy war minister under the German leader Hetman and aide-de-camp Lieutenant Shervinsky. Elena desperately struggles to hold her family together in the midst of political and social crisis.

Anthony Calf, Richard Henders, Daniel Flynn, Justine Mitchell, Kevin Doyle and Conleth Hill lead the cast in this stark, satirical drama about struggle and change in the time of the Russian revolution.

The White Guard follows Philistines, also by Andrew Upton, and Burnt by The Sun in a series of Russian epics. Howard Davies directs the show for London theatre.

Having recently celebrated its fifth birthday at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London, Billy Elliot still stands tall as one of London’s must see shows, and theatre tickets are selling as well as ever.

Following the October 2000 film of the same name, which introduced Jamie Bell to the screen, screenplay writer Lee Hall decided to convert the touching tale to the stage. Accompanying his book and lyrics is music written by Sir Elton John.

Set in the North East during the time of the miners’ strike, Billy is a young lad with a spectacular ability and passion for ballet. Billy secretly abandons his boxing gloves to don ballet shoes and join the local dance class. His struggle to succeed against the poverty and judgment of his family is set against the backdrop of community strife. Within the story his touching relationship with dance teacher Mrs Wilkinson and friendship with her daughter makes for a heart warming story.

Billy Elliot premiered at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London in March 2005, winning four Oliver awards for Best New Musical, Best Choreographer, Best Sound Design and Best Actor (awarded to George Macguire, James Lomas and Liam Mower).

The hit musical is directed by Stephen Daldry, with choreography from Peter Darling, both of whom worked on the original film.
