David Ireland’s play is as shockingly dark as it is outstanding
Cyprus Avenue (closes 23 March)
This shockingly dark comedy stars award-winning actor Stephen Rea, who plays Eric Miller, a Belfast loyalist. This award-winning play has sold out the Royal Court Theatre once before, and after transferring across the world to New York, Dublin and Belfast, it made a return here to the West End, where it’s considered the “most shocking and relevant play in London”. The tale follows Eric, an old man, who believes his heritage is under attack despite his family trying to convince him to let go of his battles from the past. This outrageous play draws on its darkness in order to drive home its point and take you all the way to an unexpected violent end.

A Hundred Words for Snow (closes 30 March)
Tatty Hennessy’s play, A Hundred Words for Snow, both opens and closes in the West End’s Trafalgar Studios this month after its hit runs at The Vaults and the Arcola Theatre. The tale is an emotional coming of age story that explores the themes of life varying from birth to death. Being set in the melting North Pole, there’s also light shed on the destruction of the planet, but despite such serious topics, it's heartwarming at its core. Critics and audiences alike were enthralled with the show before it transferred, so be sure to catch it in the West End before it's gone.

The American Clock (closes 30 March)
The American Clock, a provocative play by Arthur Miller, is another show with a very limited run making your window in which to catch it a narrow one. This is a production you’ll want to stop time for because despite being set in the swinging jazz era of the 1920s, the themes of hope and unrealistic ideals still resonate today. The American Clock focuses on the Baum family amidst the stock market crash in 1929's New York City and watches their lives change following a financial crisis. Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown) directs this period piece and presents it as something that remains just as strong and relevant in today's world. This play is one you will not want to miss!
