New York may be the theatre capital of the U.S., but across the pond, London continues to put up top-quality stagings both in and around the West End. We provide a list of select shows coming to London (the dates below are the dates of the first preview performance).

The first London productions of Death Takes a Holiday, Ugly Lies the Bone, and Speech & Debate arrive and a double dose of new homegrown productions of Stoppard (Tom Hollander in Travesties and Daniel Radcliffe in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) and Albee (with Imelda Staunton in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Damian Lewis in The Goat) will bow.
