About Plays International

Plays International is a London-based theatre magazine published bi-monthly. It reports on London's West End stage and on the London fringe in the form of illustrated reviews and comprehensive listings. It also has lively in-depth interviews with dramatists, directors and actors involved in upcoming productions.

In addition, there are illustrated Newsletters from across the United Kingdom on theatre in the UK regions. A detailed UK Regional Theatre guide tells you what's on across Britain. The Preview column gives details what is coming on the country's stage in the coming months and productions are listed in the UK Openings sections.

Plays International reports bi-monthly as well on theatre across Europe in its European section. There are Newsletters from Dublin to Moscow taking in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Milan, Rome and Budapest most months. The North American section carries reports of US theatre across North America from New York and Washington to Los Angeles and San Francisco and from Chicago to Toronto and Vancouver. There are occasional reports too from as far afield as Israel and Australia.

If you want to know what's happening on the world's stages, Plays International is indispensable.
