The Human Body, Donmar
Small-screen favourites Jack Davenport and Keeley Hawes team up for this new
romantic drama from the always-exciting Lucy Kirkwood, in which private and
political passions collide. It’s 1948 and the nascent NHS is dealing with a bitter
Shropshire winter, when a GP (Hawes) has a chance meeting with a local man who
made it to Hollywood. Michael Longhurst takes charge for his final production as the
Donmar’s Artistic Director. FM

Dominic West recently waxed lyrical about audiences in regional theatres, so let us
hope that punters in Bath return the love. West, recently seen as Prince Charles in The
Crown, makes a rare return to the stage, playing Arthur Miller’s tragic hero Eddie
Carbone in this modern classic drama of sexual jealousy in an Italian-American family
in Brooklyn. FM
