Six theatre shows to see in London
‘Machinal’ is a brilliant, stark production of a 1928 play; Ian McKellen is magnificent as Falstaff in ‘Player Kings’; ‘The Ballad of Hattie and James’ follows the peaks and troughs of a life-long relationship; a new baby has a profound impact in ‘The Cord’; ‘London Tide’ is a swirling Dickens adaptation; death haunts a school reunion in ‘The Comeuppance’
