  • DAILY TELEGRAPH: The remarkable 1536 is the West End hit of the year | Sonia Friedman

    Back to News & Press DAILY TELEGRAPH: The remarkable 1536 is the West End hit of the year Wednesday, 13 May 2026 Read the original article here . A year after it was first seen at the Almeida , Ava Pickett’s remarkable debut play already has an adaptation into a BBC series in the works. Now, with Barbie star Margot Robbie on board as a producer, the production transfers to the West End. Set in May 1536, the month of Anne Boleyn’s arrest, trial and execution, it’s a vision of Tudor England from the vantage point of lowly but lively Essex folk: a trio of young female friends. It moves apace from some of the freshest, funniest writing around to some of the most devastating, with nuanced performances to match. Set amid high grasses, a boldly conceived first scene finds the heroine, Siena Kelly’s rivetingly insouciant Anna, with her back to a tree trunk, vigorously having it off with a chap (Oliver Johnstone’s ardent Richard) whose hose are round his ankles. With barely a word spoken – he gives her a bracelet as a token of his devotion – this announces a rustic world of impulse and groping instinct, in which influence can be wielded by beautiful women. Like Boleyn, Anna captivates powerful men ; but also like Boleyn, she learns how quickly patriarchal authority can turn vicious. Too often, historical drama adopts a strained register, creaking beneath an excess of exposition and, worse, saddled with olde worlde speak. Pickett’s inspired approach is instead to make these Essex lasses sound garrulously, often swearily, contemporary while maximising the dramatic force of their period ignorance. Scoffing disbelief greets the gossip about what’s afoot far away at court. There are belly laughs, especially at the expense of the credulous youngest, Liv Hill’s Jane (betrothed to Richard). But her conformist mindset comes to seem more tactically astute than Anna’s rebel spirit as the local men start to take their brutish cue from kingly despotism and the atmosphere darkens. Completing the cast are Tanya Reynolds as Mariella, a midwife, and George Kemp as William, another powerful married man (all forced charm) with whom she is embroiled. From a quizzical sideline, Mariella comes to stand at the bloody centre of a denouement marked by dissent, death and a gathering storm of communal violence. Lyndsey Turner’s direction manages each beat of the action impeccably, assisted by a superb design, lighting included. The building momentum and deepening sophistication are perfectly judged, and the accusatory message about women’s constrained lives, then and now, emerges via consummate craft. The last breathless line of the play is “Run!”. Indeed: run to catch it now. Up Up

  • TWELFTH NIGHT & RICHARD III – BROADWAY | Sonia Friedman

    Back to Productions TWELFTH NIGHT & RICHARD III – BROADWAY This production began performances on 15th October 2013 and closed on 15th February 2014. ★★★★★ Sensational double bill. Mark Rylance is dazzling. A glorious star performance. Sublime. Daily Telegraph Direct from a sold-out run in London’s West End, the critically beloved, Shakespeare’s Globe productions of Twelfth Night and Richard III come to Broadway for a 16-week limited engagement. Two-time Tony Award®-winner Mark Rylance (Jerusalem, Boeing-Boeing ) will star on Broadway in two startlingly different performances in repertory: as the suddenly love-struck noblewoman Olivia in Twelfth Night and as the ruthless and conniving title monarch in Richard III . 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.

  • Sonia Friedman named in TIME's 2018 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World | Sonia Friedman

    Back to News & Press Sonia Friedman named in TIME's 2018 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World Thursday, 19 April 2018 TIME named Sonia Friedman to the 2018 TIME 100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related tributes appear in the April 30, 2018 issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, April 20, and now at time.com/100. The list, now in its fifteenth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals. TIME editors have said of the list in the past, “The TIME 100 is a list of the world's most influential men and women, not its most powerful, though those are not mutually exclusive terms. While power is certain, influence is subtle. As much as this exercise chronicles the achievements of the past year, we also focus on figures whose influence is likely to grow, so we can look around the corner to see what is coming." Up Up

  • Danny Devito to reunite with Judd Hirsch in Neil Simon's classic comedy The Sunshine Boys | Sonia Friedman

    Back to News & Press Danny Devito to reunite with Judd Hirsch in Neil Simon's classic comedy The Sunshine Boys Thursday, 27 June 2013 Two stars of the landmark television series “Taxi,” Judd Hirsch and Danny DeVito, will reunite on the stage of the Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys,” directed by Thea Sharrock. The previously announced DeVito is joined by Hirsch in Simon’s classic comedy which opens the Ahmanson’s 2013-2014 subscription season and runs September 24 through November 3, 2013. The opening night is set for October 2. Additional casting will be announced in the coming weeks. Danny DeVito starred with the late Richard Griffiths in the critically acclaimed production of “The Sunshine Boys” which played to packed houses in London’s West End last summer. According to DeVito, “Sharing the stage with Richard was one of the happiest times I've ever spent. He was a great actor and became a good friend. Richard Griffiths was and is a national treasure. Look at his body of work, it’ll blow your mind.” In Neil Simon’s play Willie Clark (DeVito) and Al Lewis (Hirsch) are former vaudevillian stars who, after a partnership of over 40 years, are no longer speaking to each other. When a lucrative television offer for one last show lures them into a grudging reunion, sparks fly in this classic comedy of showbiz and friendship. Up Up

  • CELEBRATION | Sonia Friedman

    Back to Productions CELEBRATION This production's strictly limited run began on 1st December and closed on 3rd December 2005. To celebrate Harold Pinter's 75th Birthday and his receiving the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature, The Gate Theatre Dublin presented a reading by leading British actors of Pinter's play Celebration at the Albery Theatre for three nights only. Directed by Alan Stanford , the cast was Sinead Cusack (Prue), Janie Dee (Suki), Michael Gambon (Lambert), Jeremy Irons (Russell), Joanna Lumley (Sonia), Stephen Rea (Waiter), Kenneth Cranham (Matt), Charles Dance (Richard) and Penelope Wilton (Julie), all of whom have previously appeared in Pinter's plays. In his seventy fifth year, award-winning playwright, screen writer, director and actor Harold Pinter received the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature which he collected in Stockholm. He was appointed CBE in 1966 and became a Companion of Honour in 2002. The Gate Theatre has a unique association with Harold Pinter, having presented two festivals of his work, in 1994 and 1997, and curated a third at the Lincoln Center, New York in 2001, all of which Pinter himself participated in. In October the Gate marked Pinter's 75th birthday by producing Old Times and Betrayal, and, on the weekend of his birthday many actors associated with his work travelled to Dublin for readings of a selection of plays, poetry and prose spanning over 50 years, in which Pinter himself took part. The Gate Theatre Dublin's partner in this venture is Sonia Friedman Productions . Both the Gate Theatre and Sonia Friedman Productions have collaborated on many productions in the West End, including The Home Place by Brian Friel, Afterplay by Brian Friel, Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett and See You Next Tuesday by Ronald Harwood. Together they presented the Gate Theatre Dublin's production of Brian Friel's Faith Healer in New York starring Ralph Fiennes, Cherry Jones and Ian McDiarmid, directed by Jonathan Kent.

  • THE STAGE: Sonia Friedman - Curriculum Changes Are Vital to Build an Empathetic Society | Sonia Friedman

    Back to News & Press THE STAGE: Sonia Friedman - Curriculum Changes Are Vital to Build an Empathetic Society Friday, 7 November 2025 Original article here . Producer Sonia Friedman has hailed changes to the national curriculum that will give greater prominence to drama and scrap the controversial English Baccalaureate as “absolutely essential” for society as a whole. The producer was responding to news released by the government this week, in which it set out its plans for the curriculum following a much-anticipated review. Key among the recommendations that the government will implement is the removal of the EBacc and a greater role for drama in the curriculum. Friedman said: “There is no society without culture. It’s not only positive but absolutely essential that the government is making these vital changes to the national curriculum. Access to the arts is fundamental for young people, not just to enrich their lives culturally, but because it has been proven to support mental well-being, nurture emotional intelligence, foster empathy and build community.” She added: “The arts teach young people to imagine, to collaborate and to see the world through other people’s eyes – skills that are crucial for life and work alike. A school theatre trip can stay with you forever. It can spark creativity and open doors to worlds and possibilities you never knew existed.” Friedman said these experiences were needed at the “heart of our education system” and described it as “heartening” that steps were being taken to recognise the “essential role the arts play in shaping who we become as both individuals and as a society”.
