The Mark Shenton Show seeks out straight plays

12th October 2007

 

THE MARK SHENTON WEST END SPECIAL

This month, Mark Shenton and his guests – critics Charles Spencer and Matt Wolf plus producers Sonia Friedman and Nick Frankfort – examine the future of straight plays in London’s Theatreland, and compare the state of the West End with that of Broadway.

New York is more fertile at the moment – the audience is more eager, there’s a bigger buzz and there’s more money.
