The List

Apollo Theatre

The Apollo Theatre is a grade II listed building on Shaftesbury Avenue, originally designed by architect Lewin Sharp for musical theatre, although since its purchase by Nimax Theatres in 2005 it's specialised in comedy and drama, such as the sell-out West End run of Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem. The nearest Tube station is Piccadilly Circus (Bakerloo / Piccadilly) and the nearest railway station is Charing Cross. The bus stops on Shaftesbury Avenue are served by the 1, 14, 19, 22, 24, 29, 38, 55 and 176 routes.

THE TRUTH a comedy by Florian Zeller

THE TRUTH a comedy by Florian Zeller

9 Jun 2026 - 12 Sept 2026

'A razor-sharp marital comedy' (The Times) ‘A pitch-perfect hit' (The Observer) Two couples. A tangle of secrets. And a truth nobody is ready to face. From Oscar-winning writer Florian Zeller comes ‘a funny and devious must-see’ (The Guardian). The Truth is a wickedly entertaining, sharp, and playful comedy where trust is fragile, loyalty is negotiable, and everyone has something to hide. This star-driven revival of the Olivier-nominated play peels back the lies we tell the people we love, and the ones we tell ourselves... Starring Tony Award-nominated Stephen Mangan returning to the London stage, alongside comedy icon Ardal O’Hanlon (Father Ted, My Hero), Sarah Hadland (Miranda, The Job Lot), and double Olivier Award-winner Janie Dee, The Truth runs in the West End for a strictly limited 14-week season. Gripping, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, The Truth is a night at the theatre you won't want to miss.

My Son's A Queer (But What Can You Do?)
When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry. Grandma had a nice time, though. My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is the joyous autobiographical story of social-media sensation Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade - and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.
