Tamsin Greig stars in Terence Rattigan’s 1950’s study of obsession and the destructive power of love. When you’re stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea can sometimes look very inviting. In this powerful drama of passion versus loyalty, Hester Collyer, the daughter of a clergyman and wife of a judge is floundering in the closing stages of a hopeless affair.

Bill Kenwright Ltd, together with Theatre Royal Windsor, are delighted to announce that Ayden Callaghan and Honeysuckle Weeks are to lead the cast in Emlyn Williams’s gripping drama Accolade, the first play in this year’s Sean Mathias season. Ayden Callaghan is best known for his roles as Joe Roscoe (Hollyoaks), Miles De Souza (Emmerdale) and as Frank Farmer in last year’s UK tour of The Bodyguard The Musical. Honeysuckle Weeks became a popular face on television playing Sam Stewart (Foyle’s War). She has just finished touring the UK in the role of Cora in Calendar Girls the Musical. In Accolade, Ayden will play the protagonist Will Trenting, with Honeysuckle, his socially ambitious wife, Rona. Whilst Williams’s dark and sinister play originally stems back to 1950, the underlying tensions, coupled with the fragility of one’s personal reputation, make this play as relevant today as when it was first written. Completing the cast are Jamie Hogarth (Albert), David Phelan (Thane Lampeter), Sarah Crowe (Marian Tillyard), Louis Holand (Ian), Gavin Fowler (Harold), Sarah Twomey (Phyllis), Narinder Samra (Daker) and Kayleigh Cooper (Parlour Maid).
Starring Jane Horrocks

Award-winning comedian Seann Walsh, along with Chris Harper (Call the Midwife) and Aden Gillett (The Crown), will take to the stage in a brand-new production of Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed play Art.
A message from Dawn French: “This show is so-named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate. There have been far too many times I have misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of twattery. Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total twat on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”
Lily Allen will star as the enigmatic and destructive Hedda Gabler, one of theatre’s most irresistible heroines, in a thrilling new version of Ibsen’s masterpiece which will open at Theatre Royal Bath’s Ustinov Studio from Friday 25 July – Saturday 23 August 2025. Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda finds herself shattered by a destructive attraction to a seemingly brilliant but dissolute writer and blackmailed by an older predatory man.

The multi award-winning star of stage, screen and music, Lily Allen has established herself as one of our most popular actresses and performers.
