Opinion

by Lyn Gardner

Theatre’s greatest strength is that we must experience it together

One of theatre’s supreme attributes is that it provides a collective experience, suggests Lyn Gardner – the opportunity to feel something together

by Amanda Parker

Would it be a crime to kill a sacred cow to free up a West End theatre?

The Mousetrap has been a guaranteed seat-filler for nearly 75 years, but is it time to reassess its right to a prime theatre spot in perpetuity? asks Amanda Parker

Editor's View

Andrew Lloyd Webber is right about Broadway – but the West End could be next

Andrew Lloyd Webber is right to worry that Broadway is now financially unviable for producers, says The Stage editor Matthew Hemley, but this has implications for UK producers too
