Richmond Theatre

Monday-Saturday – 'An Hour and a Half Late'. Olivier Award winners Griff Rhys Jones and Janie Dee star in this devastatingly funny portrait of a couple whose five minutes of candid conversation launches an outpouring of emotions and home truths.

All looks rosy for the couple who live in leafy London W4. Peter is about to retire and sell his half of an accountancy business to his partner, while the couple has just packed their youngest off to university.

They are loaded and the world is their oyster. But, just as the couple are about to set off for a celebratory dinner Laura drops a bombshell.

Orange Tree Theatre

Until March 5 - 'Two Billions Beats' tells the upbeat story of British Asian teenage sisters Asha and Bettina.

Asha, aged 17, is an empathetic rebel, inspired by historical revolutionaries and iconoclasts Sylvia Pankhurst and BR Ambedkar.

She's unafraid of pointing out the hypocrisy around her but less sure how to actually dismantle it.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Bettina, wide-eyed and naïve, is just trying to get through the school day without getting her pocket money nicked.

Bouncing with wit, Sonali Bhattacharyya's upbeat new play is a coming-of-age story about the unfairness of growing up in a world where you don't make the rules.

Until Saturday - God of Carnage - winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the Tony award for Best Play.

What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behaviour of their children?
