2022 WhatsOnStage Awards
The WhatsOnStage Awards, founded in 2001 as the Theatregoers' Choice Awards, are a fan-driven set of awards organised by the theatre website WhatsOnStage.com, based on a popular vote recognising performers and productions of English theatre, with an emphasis on London's West End theatre. The 2022 Whatsonstage Awards, the 22nd, took place on Sunday 27 February at the Prince of Wales Theatre. It was hosted for the third ceremony in a row by theatre star Jodie Prenger and Tom Read Wilson. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting shut-down of UK theatres due to lockdowns, the 2021 edition of the show was cancelled and was replaced by an online event which celebrated twenty one members of the public who had supported the theatre industry during the pandemic, rather than the usual awarding of theatre productions themselves. The 2022 ceremony returns to awarding creative talent involved in West End theatre and is fully voted for by the British theatergoing public, who voted for the ...

Magic Goes Wrong
''Magic Goes Wrong'' is a comedy play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, Henry Shields (of Mischief Theatre Company) and Penn & Teller. It follows the series of Mischief's ''Goes Wrong'' series of plays following ''The Play That Goes Wrong'' and '' Peter Pan Goes Wrong''. Production history The play opened in the Quays Theatre at The Lowry, Salford from 6 to 11 August 2019, prior to its opening in London's West End theatre, West End at the Vaudeville Theatre from 14 December 2019. It is notable for employing a far greater level of black comedy than previous instalments in the ''Goes Wrong'' series, including many on-stage gory demises for the guest characters. Although, slightly paradoxically, the ending is considerably more happy ending, upbeat and sentimental than the group's other productions. The play was the third Mischief production running simultaneously in the West End theatre, West End alongside the long-running productions of ''The Play That Goes Wrong ''The Play Th ...

Leopoldstadt (play)
''Leopoldstadt'' is a play by Sir Tom Stoppard, originally directed by Patrick Marber, which premiered on 25 January 2020 at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End. The play is set among the Jewish community of Vienna in the first half of the 20th century and follows the lives of "a prosperous Jewish family who had fled the pogroms in the East". According to Stoppard, the play "took a year to write, but the gestation was much longer. Quite a lot of it is personal to me, but I made it about a Viennese family so that it wouldn't seem to be about me." All four of Stoppard's Jewish grandparents died in Nazi concentration camps. On 2 October 2022, the production opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre with Marber directing. A National Theatre Live recording was screened in over 380 cinemas on 27 January ( Holocaust Memorial Day), 2022 and topped that night's UK and Ireland box office. The play's second preview performance had also taken place on Holocaust Memorial Day, in 2020, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Festival Des Vieilles Charrues 2014 - Lily Allen - 043
A festival is an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect or aspects of that community and its religion or cultures. It is often marked as a local or national holiday, mela, or eid. A festival constitutes typical cases of glocalization, as well as the high culture-low culture interrelationship. Next to religion and folklore, a significant origin is agricultural. Food is such a vital resource that many festivals are associated with harvest time. Religious commemoration and thanksgiving for good harvests are blended in events that take place in autumn, such as Halloween in the northern hemisphere and Easter in the southern. Festivals often serve to fulfill specific communal purposes, especially in regard to commemoration or thanking to the gods, goddesses or saints: they are called patronal festivals. They may also provide entertainment, which was particularly important to local communities before the advent of mass-produced entert ...
