The Little Big Things creators; Pygmalion & Beautiful Thing reviews

Nick Butcher and Tom Ling, two of the creators behind the hit new show The Little Big Things running at @sohoplace, join us in the studio. They reveal how they adapted Henry Fraser’s inspirational memoir – about how a diving accident changed the sportsman’s life forever and what happened next – into an inspirational new musical, which has been given the seal of approval by Andrew Lloyd Webber. We review Pygmalion at the Old Vic, which stars Bertie Carvel as Henry Higgins and Patsy Ferran as Eliza Doolittle, and Beautiful Thing at Theatre Royal Stratford East, a 30th anniversary revival of this classic coming-out and coming-of-age story.

We have an accidental Dickens special this week for you. Our review of Great Expectations starring and produced by Eddie Izzard at the Garrick Theatre, plus Bleak Expectations at the Criterion Theatre.
