Steven Carl McCasland's acclaimed play Little Wars will be revived online this November with an all-star British cast, directed by Hannah Chissick. Juliet Stevenson (The Doctor), Linda Bassett (Call The Midwife), Debbie Chazen (The Smoking Room), Natasha Karp (Rags), Catherine Russell (Holby City), Sarah Solemani (Him and Her), and Sophie Thompson (Present Laughter) will star in McCasland’s 1940’s what-if dinner party drama. Bringing together six exceptional women, Little Wars unites literary figureheads Gertrude Stein (Bassett), her girlfriend Alice Toklas (Russell), Dorothy Parker (Chazen), Lillian Hellman (Stevenson) and Agatha Christie (Thompson), with anti-fascist freedom fighter Muriel Gardiner (Solemani), in the most fantastical what-if dinner party imaginable. Tensions are high and secrecy lingers in the air, but with libations flowing and the threat of World War II looming the guests are close to boiling point. Previously workshopped Off-Off Broadway, this acclaimed play makes its digital premiere, celebrating historical women of the 20th century, through an intimate, hilarious, and witty fly-on-the-wall glimpse into a nostalgic fiction based on truths. Produced in collaboration with The Union Theatre in, Southwark South London, the production will be filmed and then made available to stream online.  The project aims to raise money in aid of Women For Refugee Women, a cause that remains close to the values of the cast and crew, and the underlying message of the play. Hannah Chissick said: "It is such an honour to work on this wonderful play about exceptional women, with such an extraordinary cast all coming together in support of other brave and courageous women." McCasland said, I am thrilled to see Little Wars find its way across the pond, and with such an extraordinary team of actresses. I hope the play's message resonates with all during this unprecedented time. Little Wars, Online Streaming Event, is available to watch from Tuesday 3 November  - Sunday 8 November 2020. Tickets can be purchased online at www.littlewars.co.uk.

Almeida Theatre's West End transfer of The Doctor joins the growing list of productions which have now been postponed to 2021 due the ongoing shutdown of UK theatres. Robert Icke's critically acclaimed drama was due to run at the Duke of York's Theatre from April to July with Juliet Stevenson reprising her role as Doctor Ruth Woolf. Dates for the 2021 run are yet to be confirmed however Stevenson is still attached to the production. A "provocative, wonderfully upsetting" (Independent) whirlwind of gender, race and identity politics, Stevenson plays a physician treating a young patient with sepsis. When a priest is sent by the girls parents to deliver the last rites, Ruth faces a moral dilemma, refuses him entry, and a national discussion occurs. Freely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s Professor Bernhardi by Icke with a contemporary design by Hildegard Bechtler’s, this production is transported from 1912 Vienna to a London hospital in the present. Speaking about the postponement, Juliet Stevenson said: “Very occasionally in a career, maybe once a decade if you’re lucky, you get the chance to perform in a play that speaks so powerfully to its time that it captures everyone’s hearts and minds. The Doctor did that last year at the Almeida, and was set to do it again in the West End. I am thrilled that we will be back next Spring, and that audiences emerging from their seclusion will have the chance to see it… It couldn’t be more pertinent in its exploration of the ethical decisions doctors currently face on the front line today, and of much else besides - of things far beyond the realm of the merely newsworthy.” If you have booked tickets with WestEndTheatre.com for The Doctor you will be contacted by our customer service team. The Doctor will now be at the Duke of York’s Theatre in 2021, with dates to be announced. Productions postponed to 2021 include Sunday In The Park with George, Sister Act The Musical, Carousel, Local Hero, 101 Dalmatians, Romeo & Juliet.
