Autumn at the RNT - West End and Touring

The NT revival of Tom Stoppard's JUMPERS will transfer to the Piccadilly Theatre on 14th November where it will play until 6th March 2004, presented by Sonia Friedman Productions. David Leveaux's spectacular production received great critical acclaim, as did the performance of Simon Russell Beale who once again leads the company.

JERRY SPRINGER - THE OPERA transfers to the Cambridge Theatre from 14th October, following its hugely successful, sell-out run at the Lyttelton. With music by Richard Thomas, book & lyrics by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas, the production is directed by Stewart Lee and is presented by Avalon Promotions Ltd and Allan McKeown in association with the National Theatre and BAC.

Trevor Nunn's acclaimed production of Cole Porter's ANYTHING GOES will open at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 7 October (following previews from 26 September). As at the National, the cast will be led by John Barrowman as Billy Crocker and Sally Ann Triplett as Reno Sweeney. The production is presented at Drury Lane by Act Productions and Clear Channel Entertainment.

The cast recording of the NT production will soon be available. Order from the NT Bookshop before 22 September and get the CD at the special offer price of £14.99 (020 7452 3456 or email bookshop@nationaltheatre.org.uk).

Michael Frayn's NOISES OFF has returned to the Piccadilly Theatre for a limited 8-week season from 4th August, in celebration of the play's 21st birthday. Jeremy Sams' production opened at the Lyttelton in 2000, before transferring to the West End and Broadway for a record-breaking run. The cast includes Paul Bradley, Cheryl Campbell, Philip Franks and Sylvester McCoy.

The NT production of Nicholas Wright's VINCENT IN BRIXTON, currently at the West End's Playhouse Theatre, will tour the UK from September, visiting Milton Keynes, Bromley, Brighton, Glasgow, Woking, Warwick, Edinburgh, Belfast, Stoke-on-Trent, Oxford and Richmond. Clare Higgins (who won the Evening Standard, Critics' Circle and Olivier Best Actress Awards for her performance) again leads the company in Richard Eyre's production.
