People, Places and Things Tickets

The Olivier award winning production has returned to the West End for it’s third stint in the capital! Opening at the National Theatre nine years ago, the pulse-pounding production was an instant hit, receiving a host of 5-star reviews, in addition to a Critics’ Circle Theatre and Olivier award for its star Denise Gough. Following a sold-out transfer to Wyndham’s Theatre, the show then went to Broadway where it received six Drama Desk Awards nominations. The New York Times praised it’s leading lady, saying ‘Denise Gough makes a spectacular New York stage debut conveying the character’s colossal degradation and silverfish cunning.’ But how does the latest run of Duncan Macmillan’s play fair? 

Following a critically acclaimed stint in Broadway, and two award-winning sold out runs in the West End, People, Places and Things finally checked into Trafalgar Theatre last Friday (3 May 2024)! And, if these striking new production shots are anything to go by, our patience for the patients return has more than paid off!

May marks National Smile Month, and with all these bloomin’ wonderful shows springing up across the capital, it’s clear to see why!

From critically acclaimed, award-winning revivals, to brand new killer comedy’s, there is something for everyone this month. And with our Spring Spectacular in full swing, there is something for every budget too! So take your pick from the very best shows listed below, and celebrate the (somewhat dubious) holiday with us!

After seven years, Denise Gough makes her long awaited return to the West End stage!

The Olivier award winning actress made her debut exactly two decades ago, starring alongside Oscar winner Holly Hunter in By the Bog of Cats at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre. Twenty years later the critically acclaimed Irish actor has picked up a hefty collection of awards herself, and has become a certified star of stage and screen.

This spring will mark Gough’s fourth stint in People, Places and Things, checking in to her ‘career changing’ role for a strictly limited 14 week run at Trafalgar Theatre. Her highly praised central performance as Emma was hailed ‘explosive and fearless’ ‘awe-inspiring’ and ‘powerful, provocative, thrilling’ by the critics during the inaugural run back in 2015.

This may be the fourth incarnation of her award-winning role, but she is anything but a one trick pony. Her performances outside of the rehab have earned her an Olivier award and Tony nomination, and have seen her portray a sultry science teacher, a grief-stricken twin and a crossdressing 19^th century French aristocrat! Here are just some of our favourite roles.

People, Places & Things is another successful west end transfer from the ever brilliant National Theatre. The play had a sell out run at the Dorfman Theatre in the South Bank complex and is now enjoying a five star run at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

People, Places & Things, playing at the Wyndham's Theatre until the 4th June 2016, is a stylistic, flawlessly-performed production that exceeded my expectations. Whilst fairly intense, a well-balanced touch of humour stopped the show from being overbearing, creating an overall enjoyable piece of theatre.
