Back to Productions BOEING-BOEING This production began performances on 3rd February and closed on 28th April 2007. By many an airmile the funniest show on the London stage...Impossible to stop laughing. Daily Telegraph Bernard, a successful architect living in Paris, thought he could easily cope with his three air hostess fiancees. It was all a question of timetables and a reliable, long-suffering housekeeper who reluctantly has the role of romantic air-traffic controller. When old school chum Robert arrives, Bernard relishes the chance to show his wide-eyed friend his first-class operation at work. Unfortunately, schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced: chaos ensues in this hysterical whirl of mayhem and matchmaking. A dream cast...Takes theatre into the stratosphere. The Guardian Translated by Beverley Cross from Mark Camoletti 's original, Matthew Warchus ' production is designed by Rob Howell , with lighting by Hugh Vanstone , original music by Claire van Kampen and sound by Simon Baker . The curtain call was devised by Bruno Tonioli . Sonia Friedman Productions , Act Productions , Matthew Byam Shaw and Robert G Bartner present “BOEING-BOEING ”.

As well as The Haunting of Hill House, her notable works include The Hangsaman and The Lottery.

Refreshing, challenging. A crowning glory Daily Telegraph Twelfth Night Outrageous high comedy ensues as the pangs of unrequited love affect the unforgettable characters of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. While the lovelorn Duke Orsino plots to win the heart of the mourning Olivia ( Mark Rylance ), an alliance of servants and hangers-on scheme against the high-handedness of Olivia’s steward, the pompous Malvolio ( Stephen Fry ). When Orsino engages the cross-dressed Viola ( Samuel Barnett ), who has disguised herself as a young man under the name Cesario, to plead with Olivia on his behalf, a bittersweet and hilarious chain of events follows. Richard III Richard Duke of Gloucester ( Mark Rylance ) is determined that he should wear the crown of England. He has already dispatched one king and that king’s son; now all that stands in his way are two credulous brothers and two helpless nephews – the Princes in the Tower. And woe betide those – the women he wrongs, the henchmen he betrays – who dare to raise a voice against him. Monstrous, but theatrically electric, Richard is Shakespeare’s most charismatic, self-delighting villain, revelling at every moment in his homicidal, hypocritical journey to absolute power. Star’s crooked King is a captivating crowd-pleaser Evening Standard Sonia Friedman Productions in association with Shakespeare Road Productions , 1001 Nights , Bob Bartner & Norman Tulchin , Rupert Gavin and Adam Blanshay present Shakespeare's Globe production of “TWELFTH NIGHT ” & “RICHARD III ”.
