Passion Love, pain and the whole damn thing in Sondheim's latest musical. Jeremy Sams's production boasts that rare thing, a British cast with real vocal strength, in Maria Friedman, Michael Ball and Helen Hobson. In preview, Queen's Theatre, London W1

Lady into Fox Leah Hausman directs the latest music/theatre piece from the innovative Bartlett & Bloomfield team who created Sarrasine, A Judgement in Stone and Night after Night. With Dale Rapley and Louise Gold. Sheffield Crucible
