The National Theatre welcomes the return of actress and comedienne Catherine Tate, who will be appearing in the latest production of Season’s Greetings by Alan Ayckbourn this Christmas. Theatre tickets for season’s greetings are on sale now.

Marianne Elliott will direct this comedy farce set in the 1980s during the festive season. Tate plays Belinda whose husband Neville has arranged a celebratory evening of Christmas drinks. In true Ayckbourn style, the event soon descends into chaos as misunderstanding; tensions, insecurity and lust interfere with what is intended to be a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Tate’s previous National Theatre credits include The Prince’s Play and The Way of The World. Other performances include Under The Sky in 2008 at the West Ends Duke of York’s Theatre. Tate is however widely renowned for her work on television, in sketch shows The Catherine Tate Show, Big Train and as Donna, the Doctor’s assistant in Doctor Who.

Marianne Elliott has directed multiple shows at the National Theatre including the Olivier award winning War Horse, still running in the West End. Other credits include Alls Well That Ends Well, Saint Joan and Harper Regan.

Season’s Greeting will be performed in the Lyttelton theatre during December this year.

Les Miserables is one of the longest running musicals on the West End, and has been delighting London theatre audiences for years. The Queens Theatre will now welcome American pop sensation Nick Jonas of pop band Jonas Brothers, who will take on the role of Marius for a three week run starting 21st June. Theatre tickets are currently on sale for les Miserables.

Director Cameron Mackintosh is said to have spotted the 17 year old whilst he played Gavroche on Broadway during 2003, and has since negotiated the deal which involves him breaking off from his current concert tour.

Mackintosh commented in the Daily Mail, saying : “I went up to him at the closing night party in New York and told him he was terrific and hoped that one day he would return to play Marius. We’ve been in touch a lot and, of course, since then he has become this world-famous star. He, his father and I agreed that it would be great if he came and played Marius here in London.”

Les Miserables meanwhile is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. A special anniversary touring production will mark the occasion, which will include a return to its original opening venue the Barbican, and a possible concert involving Nick Jonas at the 02 Arena – both tipped for later this year.
