Allegra (Maureen Lipman) is full of joy. So much of it that she cannot stop herself from bursting into song. At home, in the street, even in shops and restaurants. Sometimes the music is only a fantasy in her head. But at other times, it results in a loud and disruptive performance that causes chaos in the village where she lives. Allegra’s brother, Ronen, and her carer, Anna, must somehow control her eccentricities and avoid angry visits by the local policeman. But is this possible without destroying the great happiness that fills Allegra’s heart?
Allegra is a moving comedy with spectacular song and dance sequences, but is also a touching and emotional examination of how, sometimes, the most beautiful of minds can start to disappear.

Tamzin Outhwaite stars as one of the most iconic characters in British theatre – the unforgettable Beverly in Mike Leigh’s ferocious black comedy of suburban life in the 1970s.
Essex, 1977. Beverly is hosting, the alcohol is flowing, Demis Roussos is on the record player and the cheese and pineapple cocktail sticks are ready to go. Queen of the castle in her suburban semi, Beverly and husband Laurence welcome new neighbours Angela and Tony round for drinks. Sue from next door is invited too but the real party is happening back at her place, as Sue’s teenage daughter Abigail can’t seem to keep the racket down. Awkward small talk quickly descends into inappropriate flirtation and marital disputes: a soiree from hell, but it’d be rude to leave…
Mike Leigh’s razor-sharp portrait of social class, materialism and sexual tension in 1970s England is an unmissable modern classic.
Tamzin Outhwaite, much-loved from her television roles including EastEnders, Red Cap, Hotel Babylon and New Tricks, leads the cast in this revival of the Stratford East production which received stellar reviews during a sold out run in 2024.

The Harold Pinter Theatre is a West End venue named after the late Nobel Prize Winner in 2011, acknowledging his seminal contribution to theatre. It is best known for hosting a mix of new plays and revivals of classic works – both Pinter’s and beyond. In 1891, the theatre originally opened as the Royal Comedy Theatre and gained its reputation when CB Cochran and André Charlot put on their famous review shows during the First World War. The theatre also played a vital role in overturning the censorship of scripts under the Theatres Act 1843 when the producer, Anthony Field, established the New Watergate Club in 1956. This led to the eventual revocation of the law in 1968. The theatre’s support of new and exciting work has continued into their role as the host location for a number of UK premieres including Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge and Tennessee Williams’ Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.In recent years the theatre has held successful revivals of the theatre’s namesake including, The Homecoming, No Man’s Land, Moonlight, The Hothouse and The Caretaker. This has continued into the Pinter At The Pinter season, which saw world-class performers, creatives and associates of Pinter staging all twenty of Pinter’s short plays.
